feature request: use vscode config for formatting inline template

[sandangel]

I had add vscode config html "html.format.wrapAttributes": "force-aligned", but the formatter ignored it and every attribute just go on 1 line make template hard to read.

Can you add support use vscode html config to format inline template?

It's a bit tricky, cuz I use vscode-xml internally to format inline template. And as you can see it is for xml, and html settings are totally ignored. I'll consider how to make it, but maybe a little bit time needed.

don't worry, this is an open source project. In the meantime can you tell me why we don't use vscode html formatter? Is it feasible to replace vscode-xml with something like vscode-html? And it would be great if we can have formatOnSave feature.

yes, I admit html can be more appropriate than xml on this subject, though templates are often not valid html.
Actually the reason to choose vscode-xml is quite accidental. The html formatter was more troublesome when dealing with bindings in template. Since bindings are js-like expressions, people can write code like *ngIf="1 < 2" which make html formatter paralysis. BTW, the xml formatter cannot help the case either, but work a bit better.

P.S., there are some other html formatter extensions in marketplace, but even worse than the default one .

formatOnSave can be another feature, I do think it is useful.
