Building on Constantin s answer  here s the essence of what I learned while transitioning to Notepad   as my primary HTML editor    Install Notepad   32-bit  There s no 64-bit version of Tidy2 and some other popular plugins  The 32-bit version of NPP has few practical downsides  so axe the 64-bit version    Install the Plugin Manager  Plugin Manager isn t strictly necessary for plugin usage  It does make things much easier  though    Plugin Manager was eliminated from the core package apparently because the developer didn t like some included attribution linking       You may notice that Plugin Manager plugin has been removed from the   official distribution  The reason is Plugin Manager contains the   advertising in its dialog  I hate Ads in applications  and I ensure   you that there was no  and there will never be Ads in Notepad      It s a manual install  but it s not difficult     Download the UNI  32-bit  zip package and extract it  Inside you ll see folders called plugins and updater  Each contains one file   Drag those two files to the respective identically-named folders in your Notepad   installation directory  Typically that s C  Program Files  x86  Notepad     Restart Notepad   and follow any install update prompts     Now you ll see a new entry under Plugins for Plugin Manager    Install Tidy2  or your preferred alternative   In Plugin Manager  check the box for Tidy2  Click Install  Restart when prompted    To use Tidy2  select one of the preconfigured profiles in its Plugins submenu item  or create your own

The answers on this question are not only wrong  but dangerous   CTRL ALT SHIFT B will not indent HTML but XML  Consider the following HTML code    lt span class  myClass  gt  lt  span gt    The function  Notepad   -  Plugins -  XmlTools -  Pretty print  Xml only with line breaks    CTRL ALT SHIFT B  will transform this to    lt span class  myClass   gt    which will not be displayed correctly anymore by your browser  I strongly advice against using this function to indent HTML   Instead use the plugin Tidy2  This will indent the HTML correctly without bad side-effects  but it will also create  lt html gt    lt head gt    lt body gt       elements around your code  if these are not there

Use the XML Tools plugin for Notepad   and then you can Auto-Indent the code with Ctrl Alt Shift B  For the more point-and-click inclined  you could also go to Plugins --  XML Tools --  Pretty Print
