I would rather join a cult of fedi critters who think HTML closing tags suck rather than joining a cult of AI techbros who think everything can be replaced with LLMs.
@meluzzy All closing tags or just redundant ones? Cause we haven't had a need for the latter ever since XHTML died 👀
@yurisizov no no, ALL of the non-required ones.
Including no body tag and no head tag and no HTML tag.
It just works
@yurisizov The minnimal HTML doc is
<!doctype html>
<title>Hello</title>
<p>World
@meluzzy The depravity on men really knows no bounds! I can accept no body and no head, but an open tag like that would haunt me in my dreams 😬
@meluzzy @yurisizov that was fun post to read without reading context first
@foxysen @meluzzy Half of IT jargon isn't really safe for work, if you think about it 🙃
@yurisizov
I had to add the <html lang=""> to make it not display a warning, but here it is.
A 100% correct #html document!
You are not required to close your <p>, <li>, <img>, or <br> tags in HTML

Debunking an alarmingly common HTML misconception.

@astraluma @meluzzy As far as I know, being able to leave a P or DIV element hanging has more to do with browsers being very lenient to markup and trying their best to display the page in every situation, rather than spec being one way or another. Explicitness helps to remove ambiguity though.
@meluzzy I agree, and that says a lot! :-)
@meluzzy no, I like closing tags but I agree I do hate ai

@meluzzy

Your absolutely minimal html doc physically hurts me... and I still strongly prefer it over LLM-everywhere.

@Kehvarl this type of HTML is so chaotic it might be unparseable by most XML parsers used by crawlers that then feed their contents to LLMs. So, unless they are using an actual browser to render the HTML... this will confuse them a little bit.
@meluzzy your disregard for the html spec disturbs me greatly. but, still better than AI somehow.
