pHTML Self Closing

pHTML Self Closing lets you use self-closing tags in HTML.

<div><div class="main"/></div>
<template><slot name="title"/></template>
<custom-element/>

<!-- becomes -->

<div><div class="main"></div></div>
<template><slot name="title"></slot></template>
<custom-element></custom-element>

Note: The <script> and <style> tags are ignored.
