What is HTML Formatter?
HTML Formatter is a professional web development tool that beautifies and structures HTML code for better readability and maintainability. It transforms messy, compressed, or poorly formatted HTML into clean, properly indented code that follows web standards.
This tool automatically adds proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing to HTML documents, making them easier to read, debug, and maintain. It's essential for web developers, designers, and content creators who work with HTML code regularly.
Well-formatted HTML improves code collaboration, reduces debugging time, and ensures better performance. It also makes it easier to identify structural issues, validate markup, and maintain consistent coding standards across projects.
