What is HTML Formatter & Beautifier?
The HTML Formatter & Beautifier takes unindented, minified, or messy HTML code and converts it into a clean, properly structured document with consistent indentation and line breaks. Well-formatted markup is crucial for code reviews, debugging layouts, and ensuring page hierarchy. This formatter handles tags, attributes, inline styles, and embedded script formatting.
How to Use HTML Formatter & Beautifier
- Paste your minified or unformatted HTML markup into the input editor.
- Select your preferred indentation size (e.g., 2 spaces or 4 spaces).
- Click the 'Beautify' or 'Format' button to process the markup.
- Review the beautifully nested HTML output, and copy or save the result.
Common Use Cases
- Frontend developers prettifying third-party boilerplate HTML or output from web scrapers.
- Content creators cleaning up HTML generated by rich text editors (WYSIWYG) or CMS builders.
- Students learning web development who want to inspect a clean nested tag hierarchy.
Pro Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure all opening tags have corresponding closing tags; malformed HTML with unclosed tags can cause weird indentations or formatting results.
- Our formatter supports nested inline CSS formatting within `<style>` blocks and JavaScript indentation within `<script>` tags.
