That Wall of HTML Text? Let's Make It Readable.
You right-click on a webpage and hit "View Page Source." You're hoping to learn from the code, but instead, you're greeted by a single, massive, jumbled line of text. It's an unformatted nightmare, and trying to understand the structure is next to impossible.
Or maybe you've been working quickly and your own code has become a mess of inconsistent indentation. Here's a secret: good HTML formatting isn't for the browser. The browser can read that jumbled mess just fine. Good formatting is for you. Proper indentation and line breaks turn a chaotic wall of text into a clean, logical structure, making your code a thousand times easier to read, understand, and debug.

Taking a second to beautify your code is one of the best habits a developer can have. It helps you:
Visualize the Structure: Proper indentation clearly shows the parent-child relationships between HTML elements (<div>s inside of <body>s, etc.).
Spot Errors Instantly: A missing closing tag or a nesting error becomes immediately obvious when the code is well-formatted.
Improve Collaboration: When you share your code, it’s easy for your teammates to read and understand your work.
Learn Faster: When you're learning HTML, formatting code correctly helps you internalize the principles of proper document structure.

If a part of your webpage isn't behaving as expected, the very first thing you should do is copy its HTML into a formatter. Often, the clean indentation will immediately reveal a simple structural error—like a <div> you forgot to close—that was causing the entire problem.
