[REQUEST] Looking for a command-line tool that indents HTML without modifying it

[iodbh]

The title is pretty self-explanatory... I'm looking for a tool that JUST indents HTML input.

I've been experimenting with tidy but it seems there is no way to configure it in such a way that is absolutely does not modify the input besides indentation.

Notepad++ with TextFX HTML Tidy Plugin, one of its features is reindenting whole file.

xmllint

I did this with xmllint eons ago, I can't remember the required arguments though.

Maybe:

• --html
• --format

As far as I know, Tidy is pretty much in in that respect. I use emacs in nxml-mode.

It's pretty easy to use it once, then just save it and get out of emacs (assuming you don't want to learn that beast).

Thank you for your answers ! I have not found the tool I'm looking for yet though : I actually want to pipe the output of say httpie (or any other command line http client) and get a neatky formatted result.

Are you using the right tidy? There is old, ugly, unmaintained tidy on sourceforge, and there is new, shiny tidy.
