## Project history and usage

DjHTML is a pure-Python indenter for Django and Jinja templates, with companion commands for CSS, JavaScript, and text-like template files. It intentionally calls itself an indenter rather than a formatter: it changes leading whitespace but does not restructure markup.

### Project history

The official repository was created in May 2021 and describes DjHTML as a dependency-free template indenter. Its README positions the tool near formatters such as Black while making a narrower promise: fix indentation for already well-structured mixed HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Django, and Jinja templates.

DjHTML's design is conservative for template-heavy projects because it avoids inserting newlines or other non-whitespace characters. The same repository ships multiple entry points: `djhtml` for template files, `djcss` for style sections or CSS mode, `djjs` for script sections or JavaScript mode, and `djtxt` for text-oriented indentation.

### Adoption history

Adoption has been strongest in Python web projects that already use pre-commit. The README provides a `.pre-commit-config.yaml` example using the official repository as the hook source, which lets teams run DjHTML automatically without adding a broader HTML formatter to the application runtime.

Package-manager interest is modest but durable: the Homebrew package exposes the CLI tools for users who prefer system package managers, while the upstream project remains a small Python utility with regular 3.x releases.

### How it is used

Users run `djhtml template.html` or `djhtml .` to rewrite indentation, and use `--check` in automation when they want a nonzero status if files would change. The `fmt:off` and `fmt:on` markers, plus ignored pre/comment blocks, keep generated or intentionally odd sections out of the indenter.

### Why package nerds care

DjHTML is package-nerd interesting because it occupies the narrow space between no formatter and a full syntax-changing HTML formatter. Its no-dependency Python implementation, pre-commit hook, and separate mode commands make it a small, easy-to-package tool for template repositories.
