## What this shortcut does

This shortcut displays the current state of a web page's HTML source with syntax highlighting. It must be run from the share sheet of Safari. The source shown reflects the current DOM, including any changes made by JavaScript.
Version 1.0 functioned reliably from iOS 13 through 18.3.2. However, iOS 18.4 introduced a bug (FB17129679) that delays script execution by over 10 seconds.
Version 2.0
works around this issue and introduces several improvements.
Version 2.1
added Prism's "Show Invisibles" plugin, which makes spaces, tabs and line breaks visible. It also makes the "Line Numbers" and "Show Invisibles" plugins optional.
Version 2.2
supports pages without explicit doctypes, and the performance is improved, including disabling "Show Invisibles" automatically if the page is too large.
Features

Includes a workaround for the iOS 18.4 execution delay bug (FB17129679)
First published in Reddit in November 2018 (iOS 13!)
