HTML Editor 12.7 build 456. The line break format is <br> but I think it should be (and used to be) <br /> yes?

I take back my post. I see that one version is HTML, the other is XHTML. Should have looked it up first.

That is ok. We have you covered... I pushed for the <br> because it is once again able to be used... So no need for the extra character / to be in there unless using XHTML.

Do tell, SirAGE. When was the <br> not able to be used?

From 3:35pm on September 17, 2010, to the end of the business day on December 31, 2010.

Differences Between HTML and XHTML

In HTML, the <br> tag has no end tag.

In XHTML, the <br> tag must be properly closed, like this: <br />

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_br.asp

And the HTML Editor was set to the <br /> setting. It was then changed to only <br> in HTML documents and when working in an XHTML document it now inputs <br />

The br was never not able to be used. But in HTML Editor I would have to remove the / from it every time.

The editor really needs to keep track of whether the doctype is HTML4, XHTML1 or 1.1, or HTML5, or HTML5 in XHTML flavor. (Or other types like SVG or EPUB which require XHTML-like syntax.) The editor needs to track this, and be smart enough to format tags appropriately, whether <br /> or <meta /> or <img /> or <tag>...</tag>. *That* way, I, and others, wouldn't have to *add* the '/' or *delete* the '/', depending on whichever format we're working in. That way, *everyone's* life would be easier, and it's simpler for backward and forward compatibility.
