What is the proper format for the "line break" command?

Can someone please explain to me the difference in the following three commands? What is each one supposed to do, or supposed to be used for? Thanks.

• <br> (just the two letters "b" and "r")
• </br> (the two letters with a slash/virgule before them)
• <br/> (the two letters with a slash/virgule after them)

Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:58, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

The all do the same thing. (See here for a discussion.) RJFJR (talk) 18:02, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, what he said. I will only add that the second form is clearly malformed and shouldn't be used (MediaWiki knows that it's wrong but seems to do the right thing anyway).

—Trappist the monk (talk) 18:10, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

WP:LINEBREAK says the preferred form is <br />. Omitting the slash has the additional downside that it breaks syntax highlighting. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:29, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Is there any difference between <br/> and <br />? The first one does not have a space between the letter "r" and the slash. The second one does have a space between the letter "r" and the slash. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 19:56, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

See WP:LINEBREAK. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:16, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

This goes back in HTML history a bit since <br> used to be the standard. Then came along an HTML standard that said all tags should have a closing /. To anyone not in the web design world, and even for some in that world, it's a pedantic difference. You can just use <br /> and not worry. Dismas|^(talk) 01:25, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

List of elements

List of elements - a table with the sort as a separate row

Audie Murphy honors and awards - the first row is the "title" of the chart

1990 NFL season - a "white" table with no borders

Sorting rows in a table: What does this code do?

Please see this article: List of chemical elements. The relevant computer code in List of elements is as follows:

|-
!  
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
|-style="display:none;"
| −999 || !a || !a || !a || −999 || −999 || −999 || −999 || −999 || −999 || −999 || −999 || −999
|-

What is all that business with the -999 values and the !a notations? What does that do? What is that supposed to do? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 16:43, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

@Joseph A. Spadaro: Looks like it is (or was) to do with sorting, according to the diff. —  crh ₂₃  (Talk) 16:59, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict)@Joseph A. Spadaro: See Help:Sorting#Forcing proper sort type and positioning rows with a hidden sort key - NQ (talk) 17:00, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. But, sorry, I still don't understand. I know that it has some relationship to the whole sorting process. Beyond that, I still don't understand what it is or what it's doing. Can someone clarify in plain English? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:21, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

The row is not displayed due to style="display:none;". It was added to control whether columns are sorted alphabetically or numerically so you can just ignore it if there are no sorting problems. "10" comes before "5" in alphabetic sorting because it compares one character at a time and "1" comes before "5". In numerical sorting "5" should come before "10". The table sorting software and how it determines sort method for a column has changed several times. I'm not sure the code is needed today but it seems harmless to leave it in. If it's removed then there may be a risk that a column with numbers will start sorting alphabetically. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:20, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. So, in other words: the columns with a -999 notation are telling the software to sort this column numerically; and the columns with a !a notation are telling the software to sort this column alphabetically. Is that what's happening? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:45, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that's basically what was happening but it's not the best or most reliable system with the current sorting software. TheDJ has used a better system in [17]. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:45, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

I changed this to use the more understandable methodology of using data-sort-type. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 06:30, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
