An HTML Beautifier is a tool that takes messy, minified, or unformatted HTML code and makes it clean, properly structured, and easier to read. It improves code organization without changing the functionality of the web page.
Why Use an HTML Beautifier?
Readability: Clean, well-indented HTML is easier to follow and understand.
Debugging: Properly formatted code helps you spot errors quickly.
Collaboration: Neat code makes it easier for teams to work together.
Maintenance: Organized HTML simplifies future updates and modifications.
What an HTML Beautifier Does:
Proper Indentation: Aligns nested elements for clear structure.
Line Breaks: Adds spaces between elements for readability.
Consistent Spacing: Normalizes spaces around tags and attributes.
Optional Sorting: Organizes attributes or elements if needed.
Example:
Before Beautifying (Minified HTML):
html
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>My Page</title></head><body><h1>Welcome</h1><p>This is my website.</p></body></html>
After Beautifying:
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>This is my website.</p>
</body>
</html>
