Breathe life back into your code. Focus on logic, not brackets.

🚀 The Problem: Visual Noise

HTML can be verbose. Between <div>, <span>, and nested components in Vue/JSX, the angle brackets (< >) often create "visual noise" that makes it harder to scan the actual content and structure of your app.

✨ The Solution: Untangled HTML

Untangled HTML is a high-performance VS Code extension that gives you a "Zen Mode" for your markup. With one command, you can hide all angle brackets, leaving a clean, readable structure that feels more like Python or Stylus, while keeping your code perfectly valid.

Feature	Standard View	Untangled View
Clutter	Heavy angle brackets `< > /`	Clean, focused text
Readability	Distracting syntax	Component-first focus
Workflow	Standard editing	Rapid scanning & review

🛠 Features

⚡ Instant Toggle: Switch between views instantly with a command or keybinding.
🎨 Theme Aware: Automatically adjusts its color to match your VS Code theme, making hidden brackets invisible but accessible.
📦 Multi-Language Support: Works seamlessly with .html, .vue, .jsx, and .tsx.
📊 Status Bar Integration: See the current state (Hidden/Visible) at a glance in your bottom bar.
🧠 Zero Configuration: Works out of the box. No complex settings required.
