About This Tool

The HTML Formatter Online accepts HTML input and outputs a consistently formatted or minified version. It targets developers, educators, editors, and learners who require clean, standards-compliant markup for documentation, tutorials, or production code. It supports HTML5 semantics, void elements, and both pretty and minified output. By default, it preserves inline script and style content while applying formatting rules to the surrounding markup. The tool aims for predictable whitespace, consistent attribute spacing, and reproducible results across runs.
Conceptually, it parses the input, constructs a logical representation of the DOM, and serializes it with the chosen rules. In Pretty mode, it applies uniform indentation, line breaks between elements, and consistent attribute spacing while preserving the content of script and style blocks. In Minify mode, it reduces whitespace and collapses spacing without altering semantics.
Key differentiators include idempotent formatting, robust HTML5 support, preservation of inline block content, and fine-grained options for wrapping attributes and DOCTYPE handling. It supports use cases from producing production-ready HTML and teaching snippets to auditing legacy markup. The output is plain HTML text suitable for embedding in code, docs, or version-controlled repositories.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: paste the HTML string to format.
  2. Choose mode: Pretty for readability or Minify for compact output.
  3. Set options: indent_size, wrap_attributes, preserve content in pre blocks.
  4. Run formatting: apply the rules to generate the output.
  5. Review outputs: copy to clipboard or export to a file for integration into docs or code repositories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

How does it handle scripts and styles?
Content inside script and style blocks is preserved exactly as input, including whitespace, while the surrounding HTML is reformatted according to the selected mode. This prevents code mutation while improving overall readability.
Is the formatter idempotent?
Yes. Running the formatter multiple times with the same inputs yields the same output, provided the input has not changed. This holds for both Pretty and Minify modes, ensuring stable results.
Can I customize attribute wrapping?
Yes. The tool supports optional attribute wrapping. When enabled, long element start tags wrap attributes to improve readability, while preserving the original attribute order and semantics.
Does the output remain valid HTML?
Yes. The formatter produces standards-compliant HTML, respects HTML5 semantics, and maintains validity of void vs non-void elements, ensuring the result can be rendered by standard browsers.
