I am looking for a tool to "beautify" or format HTML code.

So instead of:


<html><head>
<title>foo</title></head>
<body>
<h1>bar
 </h1>
 </body></html>

it should reformat it like this:


<html>
_<head>
__<title>foo</title>
_</head>
_<body>
__<h1>bar</h1>
_</body>
</html>

(Underlines are blanks).

Any recommendations?

I use BBEdit, for the Mac. I suspect that many text editors will give you this.

HTML Tidy for the PC. Google for it.

Tidy looks good, but it has problems with JavaScript code. Nevertheless it mostly does what I need.

Anybody can recommend something which takes care of JS as well?
