HTML & CSS What's the difference between <br> and </br>?

Hello Coders,

I was just thinking to myself and was wondering that when using a line break in HTML you can either use <br> or </br> but my question is what's the difference between them?
 
There is no </br>.
You can either use <br> or <br />.
Both will have same effect when rendered.

The second one is with a slash as br tag is a self closing tag. But in HTML 5, the requirement to add a slash for self closing tags was removed. So, now we can safely use just <br>.
