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:

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 )
    )
);

Marpa::R2::HTML (see the html_fmt script for examples)
