About HTML Formatting
Why Format HTML?
Properly formatted HTML code offers several benefits:
- Improved readability and maintainability
- Easier debugging and error identification
- Better collaboration with other developers
- Consistent coding style across projects
Formatting Best Practices
- Use consistent indentation (2 or 4 spaces is standard)
- Keep line length reasonable (around 80-120 characters)
- Properly nest elements with correct indentation
- Use meaningful comments but don't overuse them
- Follow a consistent style for attributes and tags
Example: Before and After Formatting
Unformatted HTML:
<div><header><h1>Welcome</h1><nav><ul><li><a href="#">Home</a></li><li><a href="#">About</a></li></ul></nav></header><main><p>Content goes here</p></main></div>
Formatted HTML:
<div>
<header>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
<main>
<p>Content goes here</p>
</main>
</div>
