NAME

CGI::Pretty - module to produce nicely formatted HTML code

CGI::Pretty IS DEPRECATED

It will be removed from the CGI distribution in a future release, so you should no longer use it and remove it from any code that currently uses it.

For now it has been reduced to a shell to prevent your code breaking, but the ``pretty'' functions will no longer output ``pretty'' HTML.

Alternatives

HTML::HTML5::Parser + HTML::HTML5::Writer + XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint:

    use HTML::HTML5::Parser qw();
    use HTML::HTML5::Writer qw();
    use XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint qw();

    print HTML::HTML5::Writer->new(
        start_tags => 'force',
        end_tags   => 'force',
    )->document(
        XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint->new_for_html( indent_string => "\t" )
        ->pretty_print(
            HTML::HTML5::Parser->new->parse_string( $html_string )
        )
    );
