I always wondered why they didn’t allow an optional closing tag of “</>” that would close the corresponding open tag.
For example:
<p>This is a string with something <b>bold</> in it.</p>
where “</>” is closing the <b> tag. Or:
<blah><bleh><blih><bloh>bluh</></></></>
which is shorter than:
<blah><bleh><blih><bloh>bluh</bloh></blih></bleh></blah>
I fell it is a shortcut like the stand-alone tag <tag/>.
