Is there a command for formatting HTML in the Atom editor?

I would like to format my HTML with a command, as I do in Visual Studio, using Ctrl+K+D. Is this possible in Atom? If not, are there other options?

Atom does not have a built-in command for formatting html. However, you can install the atom-beautify package to get this behavior.

  1. Press CTRL + SHFT + P to bring up the command palette (CMD + SHFT + P on a Mac).
  2. Type Install Packages to bring up the package manager.
  3. Type beautify into the search box.
  4. Choose atom-beautify or one of the other packages and click Install.
  5. Now you can use the default keybinding for atom-beautify CTRL + ALT + B to beautify your HTML (CTRL + OPTION + B on a Mac).

There are a few packages for prettifying HTML. You can find them by searching the Atom package archive:

  1. Navigate to the Atom site
  2. Click the Packages link
  3. Enter "prettify" in the search box

Or just go to this link: https://atom.io/packages/search?q=prettify

Once you've selected a package that does what you want you can install it by using the command: apm install [package name] from the command line or install it using the interface in Preferences.

When the package is installed, follow its instructions for how to activate its capabilities.
