I'm unable to open images on my own coded HTML files in any browser
Im unable to make images appear in an HTML document, but the browser can open them on their own with no problem.
Neither firefox, chromium, brave nor qutebrowser are able to open the images inside my local HTML files.
The HTML code is
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><!--{{{-->
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>Vieml</title>
</head><!-- }}} -->
<body>
<h1>My first webpage</h1>
<p>this is sample text</p>
<img scr="mountain.jpg" alt="image of a mountain"/>
</body>
</html>
```
And the directory i'm opening it from contains:
.
├── BR.jpg
├── index.html
├── mountain.jpg
└── test.html
where obviously `index.html` is the file I am opening.
I post it here in the Arch wiki bevause I have an Debian machine to test on, and everything seems to work ok over there.

Re: I'm unable to open images on my own coded HTML files in any browser
You are mixing up HTML and XHTML to start with. One does not close an `img` element in HTML.⁽¹⁾
Also no, that file certainly does not work on Debian. You have misspelled “src” as “scr”.

⁽¹⁾ (Edit) As frabjous noted below, extra slash in empty elements is having predictable behavior in HTML5.

I'm certainly retarded as you may say, it was the f**cking src tag, but in debian I have a linter which auto-lints the file on save.
Thanks for noting!

One does not close an `img` element in HTML.
While both unnecessary and pointless, it's not invald to use a self-closing / in a void element in HTML5. (Source.)

So many years and I still keep forgetting HTML5 made errors well-defined behavior. :D
