What is HTML Formatting?

HTML formatting refers to the process of restructuring HTML code to make it more readable and maintainable. This includes proper indentation, consistent spacing, and organized tag structure. Well-formatted HTML is easier to debug, edit, and understand, especially for large or complex documents.

HTML Document Example

Below is an example of an HTML document structure that you can format using this tool:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Sample HTML Document</title>
    <style>
        body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding: 20px; }
        .container { max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; }
        .header { background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px; }
        .content { margin-top: 20px; }
        .footer { margin-top: 30px; text-align: center; font-size: 0.8em; color: #666; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="header">
            <h1>Sample HTML Document</h1>
            <p>This is a sample HTML document that shows basic structure and elements.</p>
        </div>
        <div class="content">
            <h2>Main Content Section</h2>
            <p>This is a paragraph of text in the main content area. HTML documents typically contain various elements like paragraphs, headings, lists, and more.</p>
            <ul>
                <li>List item one</li>
                <li>List item two</li>
                <li>List item three</li>
            </ul>

Minified vs. Formatted HTML

Here's a comparison of how the same HTML looks when minified versus properly formatted:

Minified HTML

<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head><meta charset="UTF-8"><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1"><title>Example</title><style>body{margin:0;padding:0}</style></head><body><div class="container"><h1>Hello World</h1><p>This is a paragraph.</p></div></body></html>

Formatted HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <title>Example</title>
    <style>
        body {
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Hello World</h1>
        <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
