Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between format and minify?
Format (beautify) adds proper indentation and line breaks to make HTML code more readable for humans. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace and line breaks to reduce file size for production deployment.
Does this validator check for syntax errors?
This tool focuses on formatting and beautification. While it handles common HTML structures, it doesn't perform strict validation. For comprehensive HTML validation, use the W3C Markup Validation Service.
Will my HTML comments be preserved?
Yes, when using the format option. Comments are preserved to maintain code documentation. The minify option removes comments to reduce file size.
Can I format inline HTML?
Yes. The formatter works with any valid HTML, including inline fragments, full documents, or templating syntax (though template tags may not be perfectly formatted).
Is this safe for production HTML?
The formatter preserves the structure and functionality of your HTML. However, always test the formatted output before deploying to production, especially with complex templating or custom components.
