Frequently Asked Questions

Does this auto-format as I type?

No. Formatting is button-driven in this component. Paste your CSS, then click Format to generate the output.

Why did my comments disappear after formatting?

The formatter calls `stripComments()` before it prettifies anything. That means `/* ... */` comments are removed even in format mode, not just minify mode.

Will it preserve quoted strings and URLs?

It tries to. The formatter tracks whether it is inside single or double quotes, so it doesn't reflow punctuation inside quoted strings the same way it does normal declarations.

Can I change the indentation width?

Not in the current tool. It always formats with two spaces per nesting level.

Can I download the formatted result directly?

Yes. The Download button writes the output textarea to a file named `styles.css`.
