29038	Render HTML void elements without a closing slash	Jon Dufresne	nobody	"In HTML5 syntax, the solidus for [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/syntax.html#void-elements void elements] is optional and has no effect.

As Django already uses HTML5 specific syntax (e.g. boolean attributes), can take advantage of other HTML5 syntax. Therefore, can render HTML tags without a final solidus.

The [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/syntax.html#start-tags HTML5 spec says]:

> if the element is one of the void elements, or if the element is a foreign element, then there may be a single U+002F SOLIDUS character (/). This character has no effect on void elements"	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Forms	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
