[help] Standalone Html Formatter

If anyone has used Dreamweaver, I am a fan of the "Apply Source Formatting" concept, where it indents, etc..

Can anyone recommend an app that either applies this to saved .htm files, or that does it as I type (Notepad replacement with this feature?)

Thanks,

Can you explain what you mean for us non-dreamweaver users? I don't get what you are talking about.

If you use a *nix system by chance, this will do what you want for xhtml:

What he wants is a program that will take flat html code and indent it properly.

Personally, I use VIM (and EMACS does this as well), which indents automatically as you type. You can open an existing html file and it'll format it as well, but that's not good if you have loads of files to format.

I recommend you TopStyle Pro. It's simply the best HTML+CSS based hand code websites :own:

And yes, it have that feature of dropdown-menu-popup while your are coding like Dreamweaver. In fact, I think TopStyle Lite was the "built-in engine" for CSS on HomeSite 5.5, now aquired by Macromedia and updated to HomeSite+

P.D: not sure of my english, sorry. I hope you understand me ;)

TopStyle Lite

@contra: Glad you see what I need, I am just looking for something that does exactly that on a Windows system.

@Dr Slump: I have tried to use TopStyle Pro and it is just too bloated for what I am trying to do.
