html foo.html will write the prettified version to stdout.

html .html will update in place* all matching html files with their prettified versions.

Advanced usage

I find myself constantly using the 'Copy as HTML' feature of the Chrome Inspector:

!Copy as HTML

The downside is that that usually the HTML that gets copied is pretty ugly:

!Before pretty printing

On OS X you can use pbpaste and pbcopy to stream your clipboard in and out of unix pipes. With the ugly HTML still in your clipboard run this command:

pbpaste | html | pbcopy

Now when you paste your clipboard into an editor you will get nice, pretty printed HTML:

!After pretty printing

Upgrading

grab the newest beautify-html.js from js-beautifier and drop it into lib/ as html.js. then add the following code to the bottom of html.js:

`javascript
module.exports = { prettyPrint: style_html }
