In HTML5 Void element doesn’t require closing tags.

What are the Void Elements?
A Void element is an element that can not allow to have any content in between the start and closing tags. Void elements only have a start tag; end tags must not be specified for void elements.

Void elements:

area, base, br, col, embed, hr, img, input, keygen, link, menuitem, meta, param, source, track, wbr

For example Input tag should be close >, it should not be />
Correct:

<input type="text" name="username">

Wrong:

<input type="text" name="username" />
