i have to edit a few html templates in our database, obviously automatically generated by a visual editor, full of nonsense in it, no line breaks, and i don't have access to a good html editor. fuck me

Do you have access to a browser such as Chromium? Then display the HTML template, hit F12, Sources, click the file in the left pane, then under the source text the {} formatting button, copy/paste into any editor, done.

@Fast-Nop why think small when think big!

try importing it into python and using auto-linting. at least it would be easier to read...

@JsonBoa it's the company's computer, so I can't install anything on it. I'm limited to a few tools they have available

@darksideofyay it most likely have python and Beautiful soup - large parts of Linux and Mac are made in python, and the entire windows sizing tool in MS windows is too. Try typing "python", "python27" or "python.exe" in terminal, you may get lucky and they haven't blocked the command.

@JsonBoa there is python, but every module is blocked so it's kinda impossible to use
