Format HTML document [closed]

Question

I like the feature in Visual Studio for formatting an HTML document (CTRL+K, CTRL+D).

Is there a plugin with the same functionality in any other (free) editors, e.g. Notepad++?

Answer 1

If you mean colorizing and formatting from "Format", Notpad++ has HTML tidying feature via Tidy2 plugin. Install the plugin with the Plugin Manager, and a new menu Tidy2 item will appears under the Plugins, and from there you can formatting HTML.

Also Netbeans IDE has formatting(ALT+F) feature for many languages (including PHP, HTML, CSS and JS).

I mean, when I have not so viewable code (no tabs, no space etc...), I don't want to spend time to understand that one, I want to format in normal viewable code . – Antione

Use Tidy options in Notepad++, it has different formatting options. – Sectarianize

TextFX > TextFX HTML Tidy > Tidy Note: Subject to change. Not sure why this answer wasn't accepted. – Divide

FYI TextFX in Notepad++ is a top level menu which is created after you install the TextFx plugin. – Fessler

So, to be clear, this TextFX stuff is not "builtin" after all? – Pyrethrum

TextFX comes with the default Notepad++ install. It regrettably contains no formatting (as in: changing indentation into a structured thing) – Radom

If you don't see the menu, follow these directions. – Monroy

HTML tidy didn't come with TextFX for me follow: #6986137 – Solleret
