I am looking for a way to take code someone sends me in HTML and indent it accordingly. It would appear I receive code by multiple editors and it annoys me that it's not structured correctly or not indented. when I do A Google search nothing pops up. I have seen how to auto-indent like this but Im trying to correct the issue after it has been coded.

  • there's tools that clean up code, but only for specific languages, e.g. cb for C beautification. Commented Feb 7, 2013 at 17:01
  • so basically you are saying there is not one solid way to highlight the code and hit indent or a complete plugin that will do it? Commented Feb 7, 2013 at 17:06

    no. different languages have different formatting rules. e.g. something that'll beautify PHP or C will probably totally destroy a Python script. Commented Feb 7, 2013 at 17:08
  • The format and amount of code indenting varies from one person to the next. For JS and HTML you can use: jsbeautifier.org Commented Feb 7, 2013 at 18:11
