Reformat HTML code

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Reformat the HTML code in the 'About Us' section to use consistent indentation and line breaks.

Before I hand off the 'About Us' page to Sarah for content updates, reformat the page content. It's currently a mess of inconsistent indentation and line breaks, making it hard for her to read and edit without introducing errors.

Sarah, the content editor, just complained that the 'About Us' page HTML is unreadable and she's afraid to touch it.
Sarah just called, frustrated. The 'About Us' page content is so badly formatted she can't even find where to make her content changes, and she's worried about breaking it. I need to reformat it for readability, but there are nested divs everywhere. What's the most efficient way to clean this up without disrupting the existing layout?

I often leave HTML code messy when I'm in a hurry, which then creates problems for collaborators later.
I frequently rush through web page content formatting when under pressure, leaving behind inconsistent indentation and line breaks. This always comes back to bite me, either when I revisit the code or when a teammate like Sarah needs to edit it. What habit can I cultivate to ensure I always leave clean, readable content, even on a tight deadline?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from HTML's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
