Ok - it seems that PHP has a Tidy library that tries to validate/repair
html. Since <br /> is expected to have a <br>, it's replacing it with a
<br>.

Even if it's written outside <?php ?>, or echo from inside, it still puts
<br> instead of just <br />.

Is there a way around this, rather than writing <br> <br /> every time I
want a break?

Thanks,

Khai
