If it's html, both <hr> and <br> say they don't have an end tag:
https://www.w3.org/TR/html/grouping-content.html#the-hr-element
https://www.w3.org/TR/html/textlevel-semantics.html#the-br-element
so </hr> or </br> would be wrong. But if it's xml it looks like it's allowed:
https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#dt-empty
The representation of an empty element is either a start-tag
immediately followed by an end-tag, or an empty-element tag.
