Tags should close themselves by default unless they are self-closing[1]. An unclosed script tag in particular, commonly used to include external javascript files, will eat the rest of the page. 1. List of self-closing tags here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Void_element

All empty HTML tags are currently left open, which is causing issues with script tags in particular. If I link an external script in the head element then due to the resulting non-closed script tag the rest of the document is considered part of the script and not displayed as HTML.
In order to resolve this I included a hash table of Void HTML tags and added a field self-closing-p to the element class that is loaded from this table. When an element is written the system checks if it's empty and not self-closing, if so an associated end tag is included.
I also fixed some typos and tried to smooth out the readme.
