Description

As you can see it in the external ticket and in this one: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249760 it is not possible to format a one line, minifed HTML back to the original one. Or any other code snippets, that you copied from somewhere else.

In JSON this is working great, a one line JSON, will format and beautify the JSON to a more readable one.

In HTML it will only fix indentation but will not beautify minified HTML.

So this:

<div><div><ul><li></li></ul></div></div>

Should expand to:

<div>
    <div>
        <ul>
            <li></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

Please let me know whether you need more information.

Cheers

Chris
