In HTML5 syntax, the solidus for
[https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/syntax.html#void-elements void elements]
is optional and has no effect.
As Django already uses HTML5 specific syntax (e.g. boolean attributes),
can take advantage of other HTML5 syntax. Therefore, can render HTML tags
without a final solidus.
The [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/syntax.html#start-tags HTML5 spec
says]:
> if the element is one of the void elements, or if the element is a
foreign element, then there may be a single U+002F SOLIDUS character (/).
This character has no effect on void elements
