Frequently asked questions

Will formatting change how my page looks?

Formatting adds line breaks and indentation between tags. Browsers ignore most of this whitespace, but it can add small gaps between inline elements such as images and buttons, so check layouts that depend on elements touching.

Can it fix broken HTML?

It indents the markup you provide but does not repair missing closing tags or invalid nesting. Messy indentation after formatting is often a sign of an unclosed tag worth checking.

Does it format inline CSS and JavaScript?

The formatter focuses on HTML structure. For style and script blocks, use the CSS Formatter or JavaScript Formatter for best results.

Is my HTML sent to a server?

No. Formatting happens in your browser, so templates and page source stay private.
