Subject: [PATCH] Simplify markdown.html

In the case of html void elements (not having the trailing '/') I have
merged the 'no thank you' and 'instead use'. At the same time I fixed a
typo where one 'no thank you' referred to the wrong 'instead use' (in
particular it was '<hr/>' -> '<br>' rather than '<hr/>' -> '<hr>').
