✨HTML & XML Formatter Documentation & Guide
Web & Developer
The HTML & XML Formatter takes minified, compacted, or unindented markup and reformats it with clean visual nesting, configurable tab/space indentation, and optional comment removal.
📋How to Use This Tool
- Input Markup: Paste unformatted HTML, XML, SVG, or RSS code into the input field or pick a preset.
- Select Indentation: Choose between 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or Tab characters.
- Format: Click Beautify & Format to reindent every element based on DOM hierarchy.
- Copy or Export: Copy the formatted code to your clipboard or download it as a ready-to-use file.
⚙️Technical & Formatting Details
• HTML5 Void Element Awareness: Correctly recognizes non-closing void tags (
<img>, <br>, <meta>, <input>) to prevent incorrect indentation drift.• XML & SVG Support: Preserves self-closing syntax (
<tag />) and XML declarations (<?xml ... ?>).• Comment Management: Optionally cleans development comments or keeps inline documentation intact.
💡Practical Use Cases & Best Practices
- Beautifying minified production HTML source code to debug rendering or layout issues.
- Formatting raw SOAP XML payloads and RSS/Atom feeds for inspection and analysis.
- Cleaning exported SVG vector graphics from Figma, Illustrator, or Inkscape before embedding into web components.
100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee:Code formatting executes entirely in-browser. No HTML or XML files are uploaded to external servers.
