Question

I have to make a few changes to some unformatted HTML (no line breaks, nothing) and was wondering if there are any web-based or open source tools that will automatically format it so it’s easier to read.

Thanks!

Take a look at tidy – overview from the documentation:

When editing HTML it’s easy to make
mistakes. Wouldn’t it be nice if there
was a simple way to fix these mistakes
automatically and tidy up sloppy
editing into nicely layed out markup?
Well now there is! Dave Raggett’s HTML
TIDY is a free utility for doing just
that. It also works great on the
atrociously hard to read markup
generated by specialized HTML editors
and conversion tools, and can help you
identify where you need to pay further
attention on making your pages more
accessible to people with
disabilities.
