Package Exports

html
html/lib/html

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (html) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

html foo.html will write the prettified version to stdout.

html *.html will update in place all matching html files with their prettified versions.

Advanced usage

I find myself constantly using the 'Copy as HTML' feature of the Chrome Inspector:

Copy as HTML

The downside is that that usually the HTML that gets copied is pretty ugly:

Before pretty printing

On OS X you can use pbpaste and pbcopy to stream your clipboard in and out of unix pipes. With the ugly HTML still in your clipboard run this command:

pbpaste | html | pbcopy

Now when you paste your clipboard into an editor you will get nice, pretty printed HTML:

After pretty printing

Upgrading

grab the newest beautify-html.js from js-beautifier and drop it into lib/ as html.js. then add the following code to the bottom of html.js:

  module.exports = { prettyPrint: style_html }
