HtmlAgilityPack: how to create indented HTML?

So, I am generating html using HtmlAgilityPack and it's working perfectly, but html text is not indented. I can get indented XML however, but I need HTML. Is there a way?

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();

// gen html
HtmlNode table = doc.CreateElement("table");
table.Attributes.Add("class", "tableClass");
HtmlNode tr = doc.CreateElement("tr");
table.ChildNodes.Append(tr);
HtmlNode td = doc.CreateElement("td");
td.InnerHtml = "—";
tr.ChildNodes.Append(td);

// write text, no indent :(
using(StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("table.html"))
{
        table.WriteTo(sw);
}

// write xml, nicely indented but it's XML!
XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
settings.Indent = true;
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment;
using (XmlWriter xw = XmlTextWriter.Create("table.xml", settings))
{
        table.WriteTo(xw);
}
Solution

  • As far as I know, HtmlAgilityPack cannot do this. But you could look through html tidy packs which are proposed in similar questions:
