Even more if the old syntax was generating standard compliant code (and HTML4 is a standard). Still, we must evolve, so a syntax like nl2br(string text [boolean html4]) would give the most up to date behaviour of this function, giving somebody an option to get the old behaviour when it's really neccessary. And ... you don't know a browser where <br /> dowsn't work? But there might be one ... one's own specific implementation where creator haven't thought up possibility that "<br>" might be "<br />" one day. Since it is not neccessary for HTML to recognize "/" in the end of single tag then we can't really blame him. lenar. > Matt >
