How to use HTML Formatter

Format a section containing a heading and paragraph, then compare it with the original before publishing.

How to interpret results

This is formatting, not a complete validator, repair tool or minifier. Script, style, pre, textarea and mixed inline content are preserved. Keep the original and verify the rendered page, especially with templates and whitespace-sensitive content.

Frequently asked questions

How to Format HTML Online?

Paste HTML source code, click to generate results, then copy or download the indented code. Formatting only changes layout; verify the original page before publishing.

What is the difference between HTML formatting and HTML minification?

Formatting adds proper line breaks and indentation for readability; minification primarily reduces file size. This tool only formats and does not minify HTML.

Can it automatically fix HTML tag errors?

Cannot replace full HTML syntax validation or repair tools. Original text may be retained when encountering mismatched structures; inspect tags and template syntax first.

Will scripts, styles, and empty content be executed or lost?

Inputs are treated strictly as text without executing scripts. Formatting preserves script, style, pre, textarea, and mixed inline content; keeping original text and verifying final rendering is still recommended.
