Prettify output with s3deploy?

[stephenpiscura]

Hi there, s3deploy already runs HTMLProofer and i wondered if this deploy method could somehow also be configured to “prettify” the generated files? Others have raised questions about the output files, e.g.:

Keeping html output tidy

I’ve been trying to design my templates in a way that the output of the html is nicely indented, but this seems like an impossible task. Especially if you want to keep the templates tidy as well. The biggest problem is when you indent a partial include tag, only the first line of the partial is indented. Not indenting the partial, and indenting everything in the partial seems like the cleanest way to solve this at the moment. Is there a way/fix this indenting behaviour of the partials? Basica…

I think this would be very a welcome feature.

I recognize that s3deploy is a separate project from Hugo itself, but i couldn’t think of a better place to raise this question.

I think you should use that project’s issue queue. We only let bep write the software, we don’t field questions for em here.

That was partially a joke, but I do think your questions belongs over there.

Ok thanks, i just did that.

On a related note, could this instead be a feature request for Hugo itself? Maybe something like GoHTML could provide a starting point? I have no idea; just asking. Would be cool to see something in the site’s config.yaml file like:

prettifyOutput: true

Thanks Hugoers.

Not going to happen with s3deploy. Marking as solved.
