Formatters

HTML Beautify / Minify

Format messy HTML into clean, readable markup with proper indentation. Or strip all whitespace for minified output. Handles inline elements correctly, preserves pre and textarea content, and works with templating syntax that contains interpolation tags.

Frequently asked questions

1Will it modify my template syntax?

No. The formatter preserves content inside template tags like {{ }}, {% %}, and <?php ?>. It treats them as text nodes and doesn't reformat inside them.

2Does it handle JSX or React components?

For JSX, use the dedicated HTML to JSX converter tool. This formatter handles standard HTML. JSX syntax like <Component prop={value}> may not format correctly here.

3Can it minify inline CSS and JavaScript?

The HTML formatter focuses on the HTML structure. Inline CSS and JS are preserved as-is. For full minification including inline assets, use a dedicated build tool.
