The MediaWiki software converts valid forms like {{tag|br|o}}, {{tag|br|s}}, and {{tag|br |o}} to {{tag|br/|o}}. It also converts the invalid form {{tag|br|c}} to {{tag|br/|o}}. The invalid forms {{tag| br|o}} and {{tag| br|c}} are not converted, they will display literally and will not create line breaks, so must not be used.
While valid forms without the <code>/</code> (such as {{tag|br|o}} or {{tag|br |o}}) will work properly in the rendered page because modern browsers are forgiving of [[Well-formed element|malformed HTML]], they can break several of the available [[Wikipedia:Syntax highlighting|syntax highlighters]] for wiki code in the editing view (mis-highlighting all text in the page after the occurrence of that tag), and so should be avoided.
