User(s) can reproduce this bug

When using the Edit.FormatDocument commando on an ascx,aspx or any other html document. It changes the contents of the html so much that the page is rendered differently.

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2012

make a html page with this code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title></title>
<style type='text/css'>
    .test > div{
    width:50%;
    display:inline-block
}
</style>
/head>
<body>
<div class="test">
    <div>1</div><div>2</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Render this page in any browser. 1 and 2 are shown beside each other.

Open this page in visual studio and format the code (Edit.FormatDocument)

open it in the browser: 1 and 2 are shown unther each other.

This comes because a space is added between the 2 div elements!

A space is added when formatting the document, making the page being rendered differently

Reformatting a html/aspx page shouldn't affect the rendering of the page.
