7 HTML

7.1 Formatting Rules for HTML

HTML documents should be formatted according the general formatting rules specified in 3.2 Coding Format and according to the rules from this chapter.

7.1.1 HTML Visual Studio Settings

Switch off all formatting support from Visual Studio, because it makes often a mess.

7.1.2 Indenting

If reasonable, put every HTML block opening element and closing element on its own line if they contain other HTML elements. Indent whatever they contain on another line:

<table id="Table1" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="100%" border="0">

牋?<tr>

牋牋牋?<td>

牋牋牋牋牋?some text

牋牋牋牋牋?<asp:Panel id="NameboxPanel" runat="server">

牋牋牋牋牋牋牋?some more text

牋牋牋牋牋牋牋?<table>

牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋? <tr>

牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋? <td>something</td>

牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋? <td>something else</td>

牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋牋? </tr>

牋牋牋牋牋牋牋?</table>

牋牋牋牋牋?</asp:Panel>

牋牋牋?</td>

牋牋牋?<td>

牋牋牋牋牋?<img src="IMAGES/PeterMonkey.jpg">

牋牋牋?</td>

?牋</tr>

</table>

7.1.3 Use of Upper and Lower Case

HTML is not case sensitive. Unluckily, generated HTML code is created sometimes in upper case, sometimes in lower case. It would be too much work to reformat all generated code, but manually entered HTML code should be written in lower case.
