Discussion on: What kind of coding standards do you follow when writing HTML?

[Ben Sinclair]

Aside from the stuff linters pick up:

• Avoid unnecessary divs and spans, try to put content into the appropriately-semantic containers.
• Only one opening or closing tag per line
• Indent nested tags consistently (2 spaces is my preference, but that's all it is - a preference)
• Use one line break as vertical whitespace between containing blocks.
• Use one line break as vertical whitespace between unrelated meta tags, scripts, stylesheets, etc.

And I try to write it while keeping in mind that it's not necessarily going to be the only output format.
