Remove closing slash '/' from image tag in XHTML

Question

I have a string txt1 that stores an image. Its value is in XHTML format, that is, the element is closed: . But I need to remove that closing slash so it can be just like in HTML5.

Is there a way to do this.

Answer 1

const txt1 = '<img src="happy.gif" alt="Happy face" />'.replace('/>', '>');
console.log(txt1)
