Makes template w3c valid #475

Koziolek commented 2 years ago

All meta tags in template are void tags and should be open – end with > not />.

This change makes meta tags valid in w3c validator.

To my knowledge, the plugin doesn't differentiate between HTML and XHTML. Therefore, the "closing bits" are perhaps there for compatibility with XHTML documents / templates.

Author prefers to mantain the XHTML compatibility.
