### Self-Closing Tags: `/`
### Empty (void) Tags: `/`
The forward slash character, when placed at the end of a tag definition, causes
the tag to be self-closed. For example:
Haml to treat it as being an empty (or void) element. Depending on the format,
the tag will be rendered either without a closing tag (`:html4` or `:html5`), or
as a self-closing tag (`:xhtml`). For example:
%br/
%meta{'http-equiv' => 'Content-Type', :content => 'text/html'}/
is compiled to:
<br />
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html' />
<br>
<meta content='text/html' http-equiv='Content-Type'>
Some tags are automatically closed, as long as they have no content. `meta`,
`img`, `link`, `script`, `br`, and `hr` tags are closed by default. This list
can be customized by setting the [`:autoclose`](#autoclose-option) option. For
example:
%br
%meta{'http-equiv' => 'Content-Type', :content => 'text/html'}
is also compiled to:
when the format is `:html4` or `:html5`, and to
<br />
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html' />
<meta content='text/html' http-equiv='Content-Type' />
when the format is `:xhtml`.
Some tags are automatically treated as being empty, as long as they have no
content in the Haml source. `meta`, `img`, `link`, `script`, `br`, and `hr` tags
are treated as empty by default. This list can be customized by setting the
[`:autoclose`](#autoclose-option) option.
