Examples
One-line HTML to readable markup
Before
<div><p>Hi <b>there</b></p><ul><li>a</li><li>b</li></ul></div>
After
<div>
<p>Hi <b>there</b></p>
<ul>
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
</ul>
</div>Common errors and how to fix them
The indentation drifts further and further right- There's probably an unclosed tag such as a <div> without </div>. Find where the indentation stops returning to the left.
Text inside <pre> wasn't re-indented- That's intentional β whitespace inside <pre> and <textarea> is shown on the page, so changing it would change what visitors see.

HTML Formatter FAQ
It re-indents HTML so each nested element sits on its own line at the right depth, making messy or minified markup easy to read and edit. The page renders exactly the same.
No. Only whitespace between tags changes. Content inside <pre>, <textarea>, <script> and <style> is kept as it is.
It removes comments and collapses runs of spaces and line breaks into a single space to make the file smaller. It keeps one space between tags so inline elements like <b> and <i> don't run together.
Yes. Embedded <style> and <script> blocks are indented along with the HTML. For large stylesheets or scripts, use the CSS Minifier or JS Minifier, which can also beautify.
No. It formats what you give it but doesn't close missing tags or repair invalid markup. Unclosed tags can make the indentation look uneven, which is a useful clue to where the problem is.
No. Formatting and minifying run in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
