I've put a lot of time into researching and formatting html. I see very few who use the style that I've adapted over the years.

Currently, I format my html so there are no breaks in tags. I remove all indents and spaces between tags. What I end up with is code where each tag occupies one line in my html in most instances. If there are soft returns or what is referred to as the <br> tag, then my line of code breaks there and starts on the next line.

Some say they prefer indented html as it is easier to navigate. I'm going to assume that it is all a matter of how you learned and what works best for you.

I will share some valuable observations. Since reformatting all of my clients code and building new sites using my method of formatting, I've seen an overall increase in the ability to secure and obtain pageoneresults.

How do you format your code? Why do you format that way? The reason I posted in this forum is because I'm an FP junkie. Hiss and boo all you want, but I know all the little secrets of the program! ;)

P.S. Validation is a must for me as it has now become second nature when developing sites. Yes, FP is capable of producing valid html in the right hands.
