indentation html file

ufmale · 03-05-2008, 03:07 PM

I copied a html file from the internet to a file using vi editor. All the indentation seems to be out of order. Is there a way to indent them correctly? Can the same technique apply to java, c code files?

You can try indent. It has huge number of options and allows you to change formatting to nearly every possible. Works for any text file.

Not sure how good vi's indentation rules for HTML are, but
usually (in vim, at least) you can highlight the lot and
press =

If that doesn't quite cut it for HTML (I know it does for
C and Perl, for example) you could use tidy for those files.
