Good example

If the 2012 platform displays some parts of the content text as a hyperlink, while it does not happen on any older devices, please make sure that all of your anchors are properly closed with a separate closing tag.

The 2012 Webkit browser is more strict than the previous platforms and accepts self-closing tags for correct void elements only. For that reason, the browser does not recognise this tag as closed and marks the following text as a hyperlink.
