Php Tidy Alternative To Only Tab-indent Output

Solution 1:

I always use jsbeautifier. Though it doesn't follow my standards with javascript, the html indentation is awesome.

Solution 3:

You can try the htmLawed library. It's a Tidy alternative for PHP. If you just need an indenting function, you can use the code for the hl_tidy function of the library.

// indent usingone tab per indent, withall HTML being within an imaginary div
$out= hl_tidy($in, 't', 'div')

I use LogicHammers HTMLFormatter which you need to pay for but is worth every penny. Use it to format the html before you look at it and it makes it much easier.
