+# Prevent void DOM elements (e.g. `<img />`, `<br />`) from receiving children
+
+There are some HTML elements that are only self-closing (e.g. `img`, `br`, `hr`). These are collectively known as void DOM elements. If you try to give these children, React will give you a warning like:
+
+> Invariant Violation: img is a void element tag and must neither have `children` nor use `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`.
+
+
+## Rule Details
+
+The following patterns are considered warnings:
+
+```jsx
+<br>Children</br>
+<br children='Children' />
+<br dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: 'HTML' }} />
+React.createElement('br', undefined, 'Children')
+React.createElement('br', { children: 'Children' })
+React.createElement('br', { dangerouslySetInnerHTML: { __html: 'HTML' } })
+```
+
+The following patterns are not considered warnings:
+
+```jsx
+<div>Children</div>
+<div children='Children' />
+<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: 'HTML' }} />
+React.createElement('div', undefined, 'Children')
+React.createElement('div', { children: 'Children' })
+React.createElement('div', { dangerouslySetInnerHTML: { __html: 'HTML' } })
+```
