Tabifier organizes your HTML code

Tabifier

Often  the writing of HTML code in proper way is not possible while working busy. But Alas! we need to edit & search through it after the completion while it is mantled awkwardly. Though search option is there to find the exact code but editing is too difficult. But here is a online serve for you that keeps your worries in its pocket within seconds it will organize the indent computer code properly.

Tabifier : (from the Author)

The tabifier is a tool to properly indent computer code. The style it produces is a mix of my personal preferences for indentation plus what I could manage to make a program produce from dirty source.

The tabifier currently supports CSS, HTML, and C Style code; the latter being anything that uses curly braces to start and end blocks, and semicolons to terminate statements. JavaScript and PHP both fall into that latter category. (For JavaScript, only when you put the semicolons in, which you always should even though they're technically optional.)

If you put in invalid/broken code, the output will probably end up quite wrong. Garbage in garbage out, don't blame me.

PDFsam: Merge and Split pdf documents on Linux

PDFsam

PDF Split and Merge is a complete opensource application and easy to use tool to merge and split pdf documents. Console and GUI versions are available. The GUI is written in Java Swing and it provides functions to select files and set options. It's made over the iText library. This application has been developed by Andrea Vacondio.

One of the common file extension on the computer is Portable Document Format (PDF). It runs on multi-platform operating system and application. As the document extension, PDF can include texts, pictures, and some additional information in one format document. PDF help people with different operating system to share or exchange the files without any challenges of compatibility. Using PDF people don't need to convert document files into other extension to be opened on different word processor.  

PDF helps Linux, Mac and Microsoft users to exchange the document without thinking about compatibility on the office document processor application. One of the biggest challenges for users to send the document files written on different processor is compatibility.  User can save the document on the Libre Office as doc or Docs, but it never accurately opened on the Microsoft office. Using PDF, style, fonts, and lay out are generated into general format which can read by the specific application. 

Merging, extracting and spliting PDF document is another common users need. However, people sometime need to split a PDF document into another one. in other case, people need to extract some pages into a different file. on the MIcrosoft Windows, Adobe Professional is the most used application to run this function. How about the similiar application on the Linux?

Here is your solution PDFsam.

• Simply put the command on your terminal sudo apt-get install pdfsam
• Search through 'Synaptic' and go for general installation process.
• Here is your .deb file, after download run this command on the corresponding directory sudo dpkg -i pdfsam_2.2.1.deb
