</br> is not a valid html tag. <br/> is a valid html tag.

most browsers are quite error tolerant the most recent version to write it correctly is <br>. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/br

</br> is not valid while <br> is valid but not strict but <br /> is the best and strict way of using line break for an empty tag

Break is a self closing Html tag. So typing it as <br/> is the best and easy way. NAIMUL HASAN
