Introduction:
In accordance with the w3 HTML5 specification for HTML code, void tags (see reference) should be marked as self-closing. During a scan for repositories containing HTML files, we found HTML code in your repository that needed this improvement.
Even though the self-closing specification is not a strict requirement by web-browsers, and they will happily parse the tags anyhow - that is not an excuse for not writing specification valid code. And given the spirit of open-source community, I will be more than happy to push these improvements to you. The changes in this Pull-Request will not break your HTML code, and they have also been manually inspected, to ensure the only change is closing of void elements.
