HTML Pretty Printing and Beatifying
Notes:
- Those pages are written by people for whom English is not a
native language. Some amount of grammar and spelling errors
should be expected.
- This is a Spartan WHYFF (We Help You For Free) site. It
cannot replace the best teachers and
the
best books.
- The site contain some obsolete pages as it develops like a
living tree... Some links on older pages
are broken. Please
try to use Google, Open directory, etc. to find a replacement link
(see
HOWTO search the WEB for details).
We would appreciate if you can
mail us a correct link.

Programming - HTML and CSS Code Beautifier The Tabifier - Arantius.com
I've been working on this tool for a
while. It's not quite done yet, but it's definetly at a useful
stage. I call it
the tabifier,
but in truth it's a code beautifier.
The overarching design goal for this
tool was to beautify HTML code without breaking it. This is of
course not totally possible, but I've strived to get as close as
possible. There are great HTML beautifiers out there like
HTML Tidy but they
generally do too much. When I take an ugly HTML page that someone
else has written and I don't know, I want to pass it through a
beautifier to make it easier to work with. Things like tidy, though,
will drastically alter the code, often making it more work to turn
the result of the beautification back into something that displays
like the original than it would be to just plain fix it.
htmlpp A
Simple HTML Pretty Printer by Len Budney.
htmlpp is a simple HTML pretty printer, based on nsgmls
and SGMLS.pm. The code is pretty alpha, but gives attractive results for many
HTML docs. Some things, like nested tables, are rendered only passably. Other
deeply-nested structures may render badly as well.
Note that this pretty-printer is oldish, and alpha, and unlikely to be
developed any further. It's not a bad illustration of some of the
possibilities for SGML technology in web authoring. Perhaps someone will take
up the challenge, and build the "right" tool!
Since htmlpp gets its input from nsgmls, invalid
documents should not be expected to work. However, a side effect of this
approach is that minor errors and inconsistencies are actually fixed.
Attribute values are always quoted in the pretty printed version. Characters
like "<", ">" and "&" are converted into the appropriate SGML entities in
attribute values and in document text. End tags are inserted automatically --
which will surprise you if you thought it was legal to imbed <pre> elements
inside <p> elements, for example.

Clean up your Web pages with HTML TIDY is a free utility to fix mistakes
made while editing HTML and to automatically tidy up sloppy editing into nicely
layed out markup.
It also works great on the atrociously hard to read markup
generated by specialized HTML editors and conversion tools, and can help you
identify where you need to pay further attention on making your pages more
accessible to people with disabilities.

ZDNet Software Library - Pretty HTML
Pretty HTML is an easy-to-use program that formats your HTML
Web pages. After processing, your HTML code is neatly arranged, commented,
spaced, and indented, making it much easier to read and maintain. You can also
use Pretty HTML to compress your Web pages by eliminating unnecessary spaces
and carriage returns. Process your Web pages one at a time or batch-format
entire folders in a single operation. Pretty HTML offers a number of options
to ensure that the HTML formatting is done to your liking. To play it extra
safe, you can have the program make backup copies of your originals. Excellent
online help is included.

C-C++ Beautifier HOW-TOSince all the documents in the world are
getting converted to HTML format (or being in the process), the HTML
beautifier is immensely important. Each and every document, book,
articles, news and papers about science, technology, medicine, politics
and others are already available or in the process of getting converted
to HTML documents. So HTML deservers a separate chapter like this one.
