Now in the last lecture,
I introduced void elements
and the link element was an example void element.
We'll see another void element soon.
And I got one important note about the exact syntax
for those void elements,
so how we write those void elements.
I did write this link like this,
just the opening tag, no closing tag.
You can also alternatively add a forward slash
at the end of this opening tag,
hence turning this into a so-called self-closing tag
because it immediately closes itself after the opening tag.
And if you use this
or the alternative without the forward slash at the end
is totally up to you.
You can use either of the two syntaxes.
Now I'm mentioning this here
because when I press my auto format shortcut,
it actually adds this forward slash automatically for me.
And hence, I don't want you to get confused
if you will later see that forward slash here,
that while simply me pressing the auto format shortcut
and it is exactly the same as having this element
without that forward slash.
