How to indent HTML tags in Notepad++
Use the XML Tools plugin for Notepad++ and then you can Auto-Indent the code with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B .For the more point-and-click inclined, you could also go to Plugins --> XML Tools --> Pretty Print.
The answers on this question are not only wrong, but dangerous. CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B will not indent HTML but XML. Consider the following HTML code:
<span class="myClass"></span>
The function 'Notepad++ -> Plugins -> XmlTools -> Pretty print (Xml only with line breaks)' (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B) will transform this to:
<span class="myClass"/>
which will not be displayed correctly anymore by your browser! I strongly advice against using this function to indent HTML.
Instead use the plugin Tidy2. This will indent the HTML correctly without bad side-effects (but it will also create <html>, <head>, <body>, ... elements around your code, if these are not there).
Step 1: Open plugin manager in notepad++
Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager.
Step 2:install XML Tool plugin
Search "XML TOOLS" from the "Available" option then click in install.
Now you can use shortcut key CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+B to indent the code.
I have a solution for you.
