Why is my script tag not indented inside?

On purpose. JavaScript inside a tag can contain template literals and multi-line strings whose line breaks and leading spaces are part of the value. Re-indenting them would silently change what the code does, so the block is copied through untouched. Run the JavaScript beautifier on it separately if you want it laid out.

Does it fix broken HTML?

No — it formats what you give it. If a tag is unclosed the indentation will run away to the right, which is usually how you spot it. HTML has extensive error recovery rules that browsers apply and this does not; it shows you the markup as written, not as a browser would repair it.

Can it handle JSX or a template language?

Partly. Handlebars, Blade or Twig expressions sitting between tags are treated as text and survive. JSX attributes containing braces are fine, but a JSX expression containing a `<` will confuse the tag scanner. For component code, use your editor's own formatter.

HTML Formatter

Take minified or hand-mangled HTML and lay it out so you can see the structure. Void elements like <br> and <img> are treated correctly — they never open a level, which is what makes naive formatters drift a level deeper with every image on the page — and the contents of <pre>, <script>, <style> and <textarea> are copied through byte for byte, because re-indenting those changes what they do.

Why use this tool

Void elements don't open an indentation level
Contents of pre, script, style and textarea are left exactly as they are
Single-value elements like <title>Page</title> stay on one line
A > inside a quoted attribute doesn't end the tag

How it works

1Paste the HTML you want to read.
2Choose two spaces, four spaces or tabs.
3Copy the result out.

HTML Formatter — frequently asked questions

Usually not, but it can. Whitespace between inline elements is rendered — `<span>a</span> <span>b</span>` has a visible space, and moving those spans onto separate lines keeps a space there, while joining them removes it. This formatter collapses runs of whitespace to a single space rather than removing them, which preserves the common case, but check anything whitespace-sensitive before shipping.
