Recognize </br> and convert them to a <br/>
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When going through domino code to fix the formatting tag issues I noticed that domino recognizes </br>. That tells me that this is a very common error. So, maybe we ought to recognize that in the HTML treebuilder and convert into an end-tag for <br> so that the tree builder either swallows it or generates <br>. In some cases, this will lead to dirty diffs, but that seems like an acceptable fix.
