HTML Formatter 
1. What Is It
HTML Formatter will beautify or minify your HTML string for development and testing. Dedicated for those who suffer from reading a template engine produced markup.
2. What Is It Not
HTML Formatter will not sanitize or otherwise manipulate your output beyond indentation and whitespace replacement. HTML Formatter will only add indentation, without otherwise affecting the markup.
If you are looking to remove malicious code or make sure that your document is standards compliant, consider the following alternatives:
If you need to format your code in the development environment, beware that earlier mentioned libraries will attempt to fix your markup.

5.1. Inline and block elements
HTML elements are either "inline" elements or "block-level" elements.
An inline element occupies only the space bounded by the tags that define the inline element. The following example demonstrates the inline element's influence:
A block-level element occupies the entire space of its parent element (container), thereby creating a "block." Browsers typically display the block-level element with a new line both before and after the element. The following example demonstrates the block-level element's influence:
HTML Formatter identifies the following elements as "inline":
a
,abbr
,acronym
,b
,bdo
,big
,br
,button
,cite
,code
,dfn
,em
,i
,img
,kbd
,label
,samp
,small
,span
,strong
,sub
,sup
,tt
,var
This is a subset of the inline elements defined in the MDN. All other elements are treated as block.
You can set additional inline elements by adding them to the inline.tag
option.
5.2. Self-closing (empty) elements
An empty element is an element from HTML, SVG, or MathML that cannot have any child nodes (i.e., nested elements or text nodes).
HTML Formatter identifies the following elements as "inline":
area
,base
,br
,col
,command
,embed
,hr
,img
,input
,keygen
,link
,menuitem
,meta
,param
,source
,track
,wbr
,animate
,stop
,path
,circle
,line
,polyline
,rect
,use
This is a subset of the empty elements defined in the MDN. All other elements require closing tag.
You can set additional self-closing elements by adding them to the self-closing.tag
option.
5.3. Preformatted elements
Specific element will be not touched by the formatter. The built in preformatted elements are
script
,pre
,textarea
.
You can exclude additional elements by adding them to the formatted.tag
option.
There settings for all the formatted tags are the following:
Setting | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
formatted.tag.cleanup-empty |
boolean | Removes the inner content if it has only whitespace. |
formatted.tag.opening-break |
boolean | Inserts a line break after the opening tag. |
formatted.tag.closing-break |
boolean | Inserts a line break before the closing tag. |
formatted.tag.trim |
boolean | Removes the leading and trailing whitespace of the content. |
You can also change the settings for a specific tag. For example, disabling the cleanup-empty
setting for the script
tag looks like this:
