Tool Introduction
The HTML Beautify/Format tool is an efficient and practical online code organization tool designed to help developers and web designers quickly beautify and format HTML code, making its structure clear and style consistent, greatly improving code readability and maintainability.
This tool provides rich customization options, including but not limited to: selecting different indentation methods (tabs or various numbers of spaces), flexibly controlling newline preservation strategies, setting line length for automatic wrapping, adjusting brace display styles, and script content indentation methods. In addition, you can enable or disable multiple advanced formatting functions according to your personal preferences, such as keeping array indentation, breaking chained methods, adding spaces before conditional statements, etc., fully meeting your detailed requirements for HTML code formatting.
How to Use
- Paste the HTML code you need to format into the "Before Beautify" input box.
- According to personal or project specifications, adjust the formatting options in the configuration area on the right or below. For example, select "4 Spaces" for "Indent Style", "Preserve 2 newlines" for "Preserve Newlines", and "End separate line" for "Brace Style", etc.
- The tool will display the formatted HTML code in the "After Beautify" input box in real-time or after clicking the beautify button, based on your configuration.
- Copy the code from the "After Beautify" text box to use it.
Input Parameters:
The "Before Beautify" field accepts HTML code strings in any format. Please ensure that the input is a valid HTML structure for accurate parsing and formatting by the tool.
Output Results:
The "After Beautify" field will display the HTML code string processed with the configured options. Its format will be optimized according to your choices, making the structure clearer, easier to read, and maintain.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What types of HTML code does this tool support for beautification?
- A: This tool supports standard HTML5 code, including nested HTML elements, inline CSS styles (within
<style> tags), and inline JavaScript code (within <script> tags). It primarily focuses on the formatting of the HTML structure itself.
- Q: Will the beautified code change the original functionality?
- A: The core function of the tool is to optimize the visual layout of the code and will not change the logical functionality of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. It only adjusts spaces, newlines, indentation, and specific styles (such as brace position), ensuring that the code semantics remain unchanged. You can use it with confidence.
- Q: How do I choose the best formatting options?
- A: The best options depend on your personal or team's coding standards. It is recommended to try different options such as "Indent Style", "Preserve Newlines", and "Brace Style" until you find the configuration that best suits your needs and readability habits. For example, many front-end development projects choose "4 Spaces" as the indentation method.
Notes
- Please ensure that the HTML code you enter is valid. Although this tool can handle some non-standard code, providing correctly formatted code will achieve the best beautification effect.
- This tool primarily focuses on the beautification and layout of HTML structure. For CSS code within
<style> tags and JavaScript code within <script> tags, their internal formatting effects may be limited by HTML formatting rules. For more refined CSS/JS formatting, it is recommended to use specialized CSS/JS beautification tools.
- For very large HTML files, the beautification process may take a small amount of time, please be patient.
- The beautification operation will not modify the logic or content of the code, only its visual presentation. Before copying the code, it is recommended to quickly check whether the beautified code meets your expectations.
