About HTML Formatting
What is HTML Formatting?
HTML formatting, also known as HTML beautification, is the process of adding proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing to minified or compressed HTML code. This makes the code more readable and easier to maintain while preserving its functionality.
Why Format HTML?
Formatting HTML improves code readability, makes debugging easier, helps with code reviews, facilitates team collaboration, and makes it easier to understand the structure of web pages. Well-formatted code is essential for maintenance and development.
Formatting Options
Standard Format
Adds proper indentation with 2 spaces per level and line breaks between tags. Best for general use and team collaboration.
Compact Format
Minimal formatting with one tag per line but no indentation. Good for quickly viewing structure without excessive whitespace.
Readable Format
Extra spacing between elements with proper indentation. Ideal for documentation, presentations, or learning purposes.
Tab Indentation
Uses tabs instead of spaces for indentation. Preferred by developers who use tab-based code editors and IDEs.
