On Windows, I'd like to be able to edit some HTML that's been stripped of whitespace. So I would like some sort of HTML beautifier feature, syntax highlighting and tab indenting would be nice.

Not after any drag and drop / WYSIWYG features as I'd be handcoding. The lighter/smaller the better. Oh, and free/open source.

    If you're using Firefox: There's an addon (HTML Validator) which has a "cleanup" function including re-formatting/beautifying. You could export the results to continue in a different editor then. Just saying in case there are only options without the "cleanup/reformat" included, so you could combine. – Izzy♦ Aug 26 '14 at 21:06
  • Although not free or open source or small, but Visual studio (and I maybe WebMatrix which is small and free) can auto-format and usually does it on paste. The free version of VS should be able to do this. – CobaltHex Aug 28 '14 at 4:35
  • As a quick alternative (which I use), on linux, you can install tidy from the repos, then just tidy -im filename which will prettify with indents and modify the original filename. – user3791372 Aug 28 '14 at 14:59

SynWrite, free and open-source. It has HTML beautify, call menu item HTML → HTML Tidy → Tidy - reformat only.

Other HTML items in Tidy menu - for different tasks, more choices of reformatting. JS/CSS beautify also exists: just see Python plugins site.

Synwrite interface: HTML menu

Sublime Text has a plugin called HTMLBeautify which you can install through the Sublime Package Manager. It is a beautiful editor, but just an editor and no more.
