Am I missing something, or do they minify the example code? Why do they do that? Is there an easier to copy/edit version somewhere?

I think Bootsrap is minified, but the HTML and custom CSS for each example is available.

I phrased it badly when I said "minified". The HTML is available, but it's not nicely formatted - all the whitespace is gone etc. I understand this saves a few bytes but it makes life harder for anyone that tries to edit it.

It seems so strange to me that no-one else is complaining that I wonder if a nicely formatted version is available and I'm being stupid.

EDIT: This seems to have changed! Either I did something really stupid before or they have updated the HTML for the examples.

We've not changed anything. Unsure what you saw, but the examples' HTML has never been minified.

The examples seem fine now. But I swear it was different last week - I can't have hallucinated adding indentation to an example file for a demo website last week! I really don't understand what happened as no-one else seems to be complaining...
