All the one that has a forward slash in their tag name. (correction) thx =O

Answer 2

Html don't force the document to be well formatted, so end tags for certain tags like <br> and <hr> can be left out and still the page loads fine, but it's like they cannot have end tags </br> and <br /> works just fine. There is probably no division like Content and Non-Content tags, Refer to this article for details on Tags http://www.devx.com/projectcool/Article/19816
