It's Not All That Complicated, Really

FRMT.me is a free, online, one-click, CSS formatter for web developers. It uses the Extra Future house style for CSS, with the goal of making it more readable, not compressing it. If you're looking for a CSS (and Javascript) compressor, I suggest Minify. It's great. Does caching and everything.

This is EF house style in a nutshell:

selector {
	property: value;
	anotherproperty: more values;
}

In words: Selectors and the opening bracket go on one line. All properties go on their own lines, and are indented. Values are preceded by a space, visually separating them from the property much better than the colon itself. The closing bracket of any selector's rule set goes on it's own line.

It won't strip your comments or compress your code in any way, except for removing redundant blank lines and non-destructively compressing color codes (e.g. #FFFFFF becomes #fff).

There are no user-configurable options, nor do I expect there ever to be. If you really want to fiddle with the settings, FRMT.me's engine is entirely based on CSSTidy. It's got like... a million options.
