Windows 10: Why does a trailing slash get automatically added to meta elements in an ASP.NET master...

Using Visual Studio 2022 to develop an ASP.NET web site with master pages, when a meta element is part of an ASP.NET master page, a trailing slash gets automatically added to the element by the time the page is served. For example, if this appears in the master page:<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">it will appear to the browser sources view, not element view as:<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />When the meta element is part of an ASPX page whether based on that master page or

Why does a trailing slash get automatically added to meta elements in an ASP.NET master page, but not when the meta elements appear in an ASPX page?

Using Visual Studio 2022 to develop an ASP.NET web site with master pages, when a meta element is part of an ASP.NET master page, a trailing slash gets automatically added to the element by the time the page is served. For example, if this appears in the master page:

it will appear to the browser (sources view, not element view) as:

When the meta element is part of an ASPX page (whether based on that master page or not), the trailing slash is not automatically added to the element. For example, if this appears in the ASPX page:

it will appear the same, without any additional trailing slash in the browser (sources view):

This is reproducible using the local "view page in browser" in Visual Studio.

So, if the element is in the master page without a trailing slash, the trailing slash gets added automatically to the element by the time the browser sees it. If the element is in an ASPX page without a trailing slash, no trailing slash is automatically added.

Why does a trailing slash get automatically added to meta elements appearing in an ASP.NET master page, but not when the meta elements appear in an ASPX page?

Is there some master page setting in Visual Studio 2022 that controls whether trailing slashes are added?
