If they wanted that, they'd have looked at the developer tools to begin with.

Many of you folks are completely missing the point. The world wide web took off in large part because it was incredibly easy to learn HTML, because with every webpage if one wanted to know how it worked one could just look at the source code.

How the page is currently being rendered, what state the DOM might be in... These things do not matter to someone trying to view the source HTML for a page. They're looking to learn about the HTML. They're not goimg to get that by viewing pre-digested DOM information.

Or a website I was trying to fix: the source in view source, and thr stuff on dev tools, never matched each other, even with JS disabled. in the end after days I gave up and the page is in production, crazy bugs and all, because I can't figure why on both chrome and Firefox the webpage end with lots of random "strong" and "span" tags that don't exist anywhere in the original source. The tags aren't even closed properly, some are never closed, some are closed multiple times.
