Readable HTML makes review and debugging easier. Indentation reveals nesting problems that one-line markup can hide.

Format copied snippets

Snippets from CMS fields, emails, and generated templates often arrive compressed. Beautifying them helps you inspect the structure quickly.

Check nesting

Look for missing closing tags, unexpected wrappers, and deeply nested elements that could affect layout or accessibility.

Keep production separate

Formatted HTML is great for review. Production builds may still minify markup for delivery.
