An opinionated HTML/XML soup formatter

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/collective/zpretty.svg?branch=master

A tool to format in a very opinionated way HTML, XML and text containing XML snippets.

It satisfies a primary need: decrease the pain of diffing HTML/XML.

For this reason zpretty formats the markup following these rules of thumb:

  • maximize the vertical space/decrease the line length

  • attributes should be sorted consistently

  • attribute sorting is first semantic and then alphabetic

This tool understands the TAL language and has some features dedicated to it.

See TODO section to know what is forecast for the future.

The source code and the issue tracker are hosted on GitHub.
