How do I reformat HTML code using Sublime Text 2?

Question

I've got some poorly-formatted HTML code that I'd like to reformat. Is there a command that will automatically reformat HTML code in Sublime Text 2 so it looks better and is easier to read?

Answer 1

There's a plugin called SublimeHtmlTidy which works pretty well

Answer 2

you can set shortcut key F12 easy!!!

{ "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent" , "args": { "single_line": false } }

see detail here.

I'm using tidy together with custom build system to prettify HTML.

I have HTMLTidy.sublime-build in my Packages/User/ directory:

{
  "cmd": ["tidy", "-config", "$packages/User/tidy_config.cfg", "$file"]
}

and tidy_config.cfg file in the same directory:

indent: auto
tab-size: 4
show-warnings: no
write-back: yes
quiet: yes
indent-cdata: yes
tidy-mark: no
wrap: 0

And just select build system and press ctrl+b or cmd+b to reformat file content. One minor issue with that is that ST2 does not automatically reload the file so to see the results you have to switch to some other file and back (or to other application and back).

On Mac I've used macports to install tidy, on Windows you'd have to download it yourself and specify working directory in the build system, where tidy is located:

"working_dir": "c:\\HTMLTidy\\"

or add it to the PATH.

For me, the HTML Prettify solution was extremely simple. I went to the HTML Prettify page.

1. Needed the Sublime Package Manager
2. Followed the Instructions for installing the package manager here
3. typed cmd + shift + p to bring up the menu
4. Typed prettify
5. Chose the HTML prettify selection in the menu

Boom. Done. Looks great

I am yet to have the privilege to comment so this is simply additional information related to @peter's answer above answer.

I found HTML did not align as expected if IE conditional comments in the header were not completely in-line e.g. flush to the left:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<p class='chromeframe'>Your browser is <em>unsupported</em>. <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">Upgrade to a different browser</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/chromeframe/?redirect=true">install Google Chrome Frame</a> to experience this site.</p>
<![endif]-->
<!-- Le HTML5 shim, for IE6-8 support of HTML elements -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

I recommend this plugin: HTML/CSS/JS Prettify, It really works.

After the installation, just select the code and press Ctrl+Shift+H.

Done!
