About HTML Formatting

Why Format HTML?

Properly formatted HTML code is easier to read, debug, and maintain. Clean, well-structured HTML improves collaboration and helps identify issues quickly.

Key Features

• Beautification: Adds proper indentation and line breaks for readability
• Minification: Removes unnecessary whitespace and comments to reduce file size
• Syntax Highlighting: Color-codes tags, attributes, and values for easier reading
• Line Numbers: Helps track code structure and debug issues
• Character Counter: Shows before/after file sizes for optimization

Best Practices

• Use consistent indentation (2 or 4 spaces)
• Close all tags properly
• Use semantic HTML5 elements
• Keep attributes on separate lines for long tags
• Minify production code for better performance
• Keep development code formatted for maintainability

When to Use This Tool

• Before committing code to version control
• When inheriting poorly formatted code
• To optimize HTML for production deployment
• For learning and understanding HTML structure
