Some HTML tags like br and hr have no content and cannot have a closing tag. What is the complete set of these tags?

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

HTML has a defined syntax, it isn't the language's fault that a number of popular parsers for it have excellent error handling features. "There is probably no division like Content and Non-Content tags" — there is, it is clearly defined in the specification. As for that article, it appears to have no content aside from a demand that I register.
