# Formatters
Pretty-print HTML, CSS, and SQL code.
## Commands
These tools are primarily used in pipelines, but can be used via pipe:
```bash
echo "" | devv pipe exec "html-formatter"
echo "body{color:red;margin:0}" | devv pipe exec "css-formatter"
echo "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=1" | devv pipe exec "sql-formatter"
```
## Examples
```bash
# Format minified HTML
echo '' | devv pipe exec "html-formatter"
# Format inline CSS
echo "body{margin:0;padding:0}h1{color:blue;font-size:24px}" | devv pipe exec "css-formatter"
# Format a SQL query
echo "SELECT u.name,u.email FROM users u JOIN orders o ON u.id=o.user_id WHERE o.total>100 ORDER BY u.name" | devv pipe exec "sql-formatter"
```
## Pipeline Usage
| Pipeline ID | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `html-formatter` | Pretty-print HTML |
| `css-formatter` | Pretty-print CSS |
| `sql-formatter` | Pretty-print SQL |
```bash
devv pipe exec "html-formatter" ""
devv pipe exec "css-formatter | base64-encode" "body{color:red}"
```
### Behavior
All formatters transform their input — the formatted result passes to the next step.
