I know the imag tag <img> doesn't need a closing tag because theres nothing that would go between the tags. Like <img src="mypicture"> is what's used rather than <img src="mypicture"></img>. Yet when I've seen the embed tag (which is basically nothing more than an img tag for videos and music) it always has had a closing </embed>. Is this needed? If not then why is it done that way. I want to use an embed tag in my webpage, but I don't want to do it wrong.
Does the embed tag in HTML need to have a closing tag?
