WebMarkupMin removes </br> #126

<'br> or <'br/> doesn't get removed. ✔ <'/br> gets removed from the html. ❌

I understand that <'/br> is not the suggested way of adding a line-break. But, I'd like to know which setting would help me prevent the removal of this.

Till now, I have used: options.MinificationSettings.PreservableOptionalTagList = "br"; options.MinificationSettings.RemoveOptionalEndTags = false;

[added a ' to prevent github from using the tags]

Hello, Kaushambi!

…, I'd like to know which setting would help me prevent the removal of this.

This setting does not exist, but you can use the ignoring comment tags.

</br> is not an optional HTML end tag. This syntax is not acceptable from the point of view of HTML standard. You can check this with a validator: 

Error: End tag br.
From line 11, column 99; to line 11, column 103
r</a> <br></br>sit am

Ok, thanks for the prompt reply! I am receiving the HTML from a different source. I think it's better to get the wrong tag corrected.
