Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Html Formatter formatting answered
Yes, the formatter fully supports HTML5 including semantic elements, custom data attributes, multimedia tags, and modern web components with proper parsing and validation.
The accessibility checker scans your HTML against WCAG 2.1 guidelines, detecting missing alt attributes, empty title tags, form inputs without labels, skipped heading levels, and other common issues.
Yes, use the Preview feature to see how your formatted HTML renders in a browser window, allowing you to verify structure and layout before copying the code.
Yes, the formatter correctly processes <style> and <script> blocks, preserving their content while applying proper indentation and structure to the surrounding HTML.
HTML minification removes unnecessary whitespace, comments, and optional tags to reduce file size for production deployment, typically achieving 15-30% size reduction.
The HTML syntax defined by the WHATWG HTML Living Standard - the same spec browsers implement. Void elements (br, img, input) stay unclosed without a trailing slash, attributes can be unquoted per the spec's syntax rules, and the formatter preserves both forms while normalizing indentation.
Block-level elements (div, section, p, table) each get their own indentation level; inline elements (span, a, strong, em) stay on the same line as their surrounding text. Script and style contents are left untouched - re-indenting them could change a template literal or shift CSS selectors.
Almost never - with two known exceptions the formatter respects: whitespace inside <pre> elements is never touched, and text nodes that depend on source-space joining are handled conservatively. Indentation is only inserted between tags where the spec defines whitespace as insignificant.
