HTML Formatter vs HTML Viewer
An HTML formatter takes messy or minified HTML and restructures it with proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing. The goal is clean, readable source code that is easier to edit and maintain.
An HTML viewer renders your HTML so you can see the visual output as a browser would display it. It shows the final result, not the code structure.
Use the formatter when you need to clean up code. Use the HTML Viewer when you need to preview how your HTML looks in a browser. Both tools are free on Linkyhost.
