Mass end tag

[AMWJ]

I think there should be a mass end tag.

Code: Select all

</div td tr table div>

End tags don't have any other attributes, so there is no unclarity about it. Also </all> for the end of a document (although it does look slightly mismatched).

First and foremost there is no such thing as a "tag" in (X)HTML, they're called elements.

Secondly this is not XML friendly at all as this presume you have an open and invalid element named "div td tr table div". I'm 100% certain that elements can not have spaces in their names since that space would delegate the second string as an attribute (<element_name attribute="value" />).

Since most code I've seen in general is mesh I would highly advise working on cleaning up the white space of your code. In example I highly advise against using tabs in place of spaces when indenting elements as some of the (X)HTML source code I've viewed on my 24 inch monitor has indented past the right side of my screen at 1920x1200 resolution!

Best practices ultimately are what you're after.

No. There are start tags and end tags. Elements consist of start tag, content, end tag (sometimes some tags can be omitted). XML also has so-called empty-element tags.
