Description

I have this in my html

  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-beautify/1.7.5/beautify.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-beautify/1.7.5/beautify-css.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-beautify/1.7.5/beautify-html.js"></script>

on the front-end, I cannot find a global variable, that I can use to generated formatted strings.

is there a global variable?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the js beautify source code to see if it exposes a global variable and whether the CDN version is compatible with CSP restrictions. Look at previous similar issues or documentation about usage without eval.
