Quick Answer & Understanding Your Result

Source: W3C HTML5 Specification

An HTML Formatter beautifies and standardizes unindented, messy, or minified HTML5 markup into clean, 2-space indented hierarchical structures.

Core HTML Formatting Capabilities

  • Hierarchical 2-Space Indentation: Perfectly indents nested <div>, <section>, and semantic HTML5 parent-child trees.
  • Embedded Script & Style Formatting: Automatically indents internal JavaScript (<script>) and CSS (<style>) blocks.
  • Void & Self-Closing Tag Handling: Standardizes void elements (<img>, <input>, <meta>, <br>) according to modern HTML5 standards.

Web Development Applications

  • Frontend Template Prettification: Cleaning up dynamically rendered JSX/HTML strings for code reviews.
  • Scraped HTML Beautification: Making minified production markup readable for inspection and debugging.

Paste your raw HTML markup above to format and prettify your code instantly.

Formula & Calculation Logic

Technical Specification & AST
Mathematical Formula
Formatted HTML
= js_beautify.html(input, indent_size: 2, wrap_line_length: 120 )

DOM formatting pipeline:

  • Tokenizes HTML tags, content nodes, and comments, reconstructing clean tag hierarchy.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Paste HTML Markup

Paste unformatted or single-line HTML into the editor.

2

Deterministic DOM Indentation

The engine recalculates tag depths and formats the markup in 0ms.

3

Copy Beautified HTML

Copy clean HTML code or download as an .html file.
