About HTML Formatting

HTML formatting makes your code more readable by applying consistent indentation, proper nesting, and organizing elements in a structured way. Properly formatted HTML is easier to read, maintain, and debug.

How to Use This Tool

1. Paste your unformatted HTML code in the input field
2. Configure your formatting preferences (indentation, line wrapping, etc.)
3. Click the "Format HTML" button to beautify your code
4. View the formatted result in the output field
5. Use the "Copy Code" button to copy the formatted HTML to your clipboard
6. Use the "Reset" button to clear both input and output and restore default settings

Formatting Options

• Indentation Size: Choose how many spaces to use for each level of indentation (or use tabs)
• Wrap Line Length: Set the maximum length for lines before they wrap
• Preserve Existing Line Breaks: Keep your existing line breaks in the formatted output
• Keep Script & Style Tags Unformatted: Leave the content inside these tags as-is
• Limit Consecutive Empty Lines: Control how many empty lines can appear in sequence

HTML Cleanup Options

• Remove HTML Comments: Strip out comments from the formatted output
• Convert Tags to Lowercase: Change all HTML tags to lowercase (recommended for HTML5)
• Convert Attributes to Lowercase: Change all attributes to lowercase
• Remove Empty Attributes: Delete attributes that have no value
• Format Style Attributes: Beautify inline CSS in style attributes
• Format Self-closing Tags: Ensure consistent formatting of self-closing tags

Best Practices for HTML Formatting

• Use consistent indentation (2 or 4 spaces is common)
• Place each block-level element on its own line
• Indent child elements to show nesting structure
• Use lowercase for HTML tags and attributes
• Include proper DOCTYPE declaration
• Close all HTML tags properly
• Add semantic comments for complex sections
