truncatewords_html closes <br/> <hr/> tags

[sneawo]

In [9]: ts = 'test<br/><hr/>test test'
In [10]: struncatewords_html(s, 2)
Out[10]: u'test<br/><hr/>test ...</hr/></br/>'

I think it can be fixed with updating re_tag in django.utils.text
re_tag = re.compile(r'<(/)?([^ ]+?)(?:(\s*/)| .*?)?>')

Could you possibly provide more information about this bug? The current description of this bug is not clear enough for me to attempt to replicate. Thanks!

The report isn't accurate; to reproduce on master:

>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import truncatewords_html
>>> truncatewords_html('test<br/><hr/>test test', 2)
u'test<br/><hr/>test ...</hr/></br/>'
