Are there any "light" editors that "beautify" HTML code...i.e. indent the
code to the proper level? It has to be light, not bloated, since that's
all I will be using it for. Thanks!

Many HTML editors come with the tidy.exe utility that should do
what you want. Google around for it - I think it's a command line
thing, very small and light.

HTML Tidy is available at <URL:http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/>,
actually. Works like a charm, but make sure you take the time to
configure it the way you want.


3 other Tidy programs
HTMLtrim = http://sourceforge.net/projects/htmltrim

These 2 are Windows frontends for Tidy based on TidyLib
(http://tidy.sourceforge.net/)


And this is a Windows frontend based on Raggett's orginal Tidy program

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I ended up with TidyUI since it
was the easiest for my needs and it had syntax coloring. A big plus--it
allows for cut and paste...which is great for me because I'm using it to
examine pieces of code, not entire documents.

It's funny...I was a bit confused by the term "front end" because I
thought it meant I'd also have to download the command line program...but
all of them worked as standalones.

Turns out I had that one on my system!...but I still prefer TidyUI since
it's single-purpose...
