I am editing an OCR generated .epub I downloaded from Archive.org.
Some paragraphs are poem stanzas, so I have inserted tags to restore the stanzas formatting, as in

Code:

<p>The tune with the river in it, the fast river and the courageous, that<br>
kens not stop nor tarry, that runs round rock and over fall<br>
with a good humour, yet no mood for anything<br>
but the way before it.-Neil Munro</p>

Problem is that using the Check Book tool (F7) I get an error message:
"Parsing failed: Opening and closing tag mismatch: br line 25 and p line 26"; now I was taught that the tag did not need a closing tag.
Is that a bug in the parser ?
Or should I globally replace with and hope for the best ?
