Not necessarily. For example, I work on a lot of HTML articles -> EPUB.

<a> links can be extremely long and turn into visual spaghetti:

Code:
<a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/column-minimum-wage-lowers-employment-teens-low-skill-workers"><i>PBS</i></a>
or:

Code:
<a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/column-minimum-wage-lowers-employment-teens-low-skill-workers">https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/column-minimum-wage-lowers-employment-teens-low-skill-workers</a>
Toss in a few classes or tons of URLs close together (an Index with page numbers), and you can quickly get tough-to-visualize sections, even with the help of Syntax Highlighting.

Also, tables, tables, tables. You mend/prettify, and even though the indentation levels help, those things can get hideously large.
