Like everyone I use Prettier to format my JS files.
I’ve had some issues with Prettier formatting my HTML like this:
The solution I found is to add this to your settings.json file to tell VS Code to use the default HTML formatter instead of Prettier:
{
"[html]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.html-language-features"
},
}
