Web pages are made by lots of tools which yield readable or unreadable
HTML code. Things that make code unreadable are

 – CSS for distributing text over the screen (this has decreased a
   little since Web designers reckon with smartphones that have no
   screen in the classic sense, i.e. at least 25 cm wide). CSS that works 
   locally (fonts, sizes, ...) is less of a problem, you only have to make 
   sure to repeat the declarations in each portion,

 – a converter from something else, e.g. Word or PDF, to HTML, especially if
   it is expected to convert also vice versa,

 – many tools working simultaneously (a CMS, a WYSIWYG editor, a
   converter of text formats, macro techniques like SSI, and – most
   prominently – server side scripting like PHP and others) not
   knowing which other tools are underway as well.

If you look into the HTML code without understanding anything you
cannot expect any tool to understand more. In simple cases, a tool
like HTML Tidy (https://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/) might improve
the situation but a tool working on everything is hardly conceivable.

Consequently, the proposed tool HTMLdoc excludes virtually everything:

  While it currently does not support many things in “the modern web”
  such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), forms, full Unicode, and Emoji
  characters, ...
