<br /> are not validated in W3C validator? How to change to

When I paste the content in FCK, break tags are added like this:

my text.
<br />
<br />
some more text


When I run the web page in html validator, getting error:

----------------------------------------
Line 68, Column 4: NET-enabling start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES.
<br />
The sequence <FOO /> can be interpreted in at least two different ways, depending on the DOCTYPE of the document. For HTML 4.01 Strict, the '/' terminates the tag <FOO (with an implied '>'). However, since many browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the presence of an HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure HTML documents and reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML.
----------------------------------------

How to change <br /> to <br> ?

please advice.

I am validating page as html doc type.

I just want to change <br /> to <br> when FCK saving the text.

configure FCKeditor with a HTML doctype.

1. I am seeing 'FCKConfig.DocType' in 5 files. Add the DOCTYPE value in all 5 files?

2. Still I can keep the following tag in the html file as first line to validate?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Now pressing 'Enter' creating <p> tags. That is OK.

But pressing shift + Enter, still giving break tag as <br />

I added

FCKConfig.DocType = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">' ;

to config file. Still no use.

Anybody please?

I don't think that he said so, and for sure I told you to use a HTML doctype.
