Summary

Fixes two classes of invalid/broken HTML in hand-written docs. Both are visible problems in today's rendered docs, independent of any docs-engine work.

  1. </br> is not a real HTML tag. br is a void element with no closing form; browsers error-correct </br>, but it is invalid HTML. Replaced all 15 usages with <br /> across:
    • docs/admin/templates/extending-templates/dynamic-parameters.md
    • docs/admin/users/idp-sync.md
    • docs/tutorials/best-practices/organizations.md
  2. Browser-swallowed placeholder URL. In docs/ai-coder/github-to-tasks.md, https://<your-coder-url>/settings/external-auth was unformatted, so HTML renderers parse <your-coder-url> as an unknown tag and drop it. The live docs currently render the broken text re-authenticate at https:///settings/external-auth. Wrapped in backticks, matching every other instance in the same file.

Table realignment noise in the diff is from fmt/markdown (<br /> is one character wider than </br>).

A repo-wide grep confirms no remaining </br> and no other unformatted https://<placeholder> URLs in prose (other hits are inside code fences or already backticked). The equivalent placeholder issues in generated reference docs (CLI help strings, swagger annotations) are intentionally out of scope and tracked separately in DOCS-551.

Tracking issue: DOCS-550

</br> is not a real HTML tag (br is a void element with no closing form);
browsers error-correct it but it is invalid HTML. Replace all 15 usages
with <br />.

In github-to-tasks.md, https://<your-coder-url>/... was unformatted, so
HTML renderers parse <your-coder-url> as an unknown tag and drop it; the
live docs show a broken "https:///settings/external-auth". Wrap it in
backticks like every other instance in the file.
