Add option to prettify the code (i.e. nice indents)

This plugin is amazing, I love it!

I tried using it to add in some HTML for me with Tailwind, and the output for the plugin is mostly minified. I have to then go back into the code and then format it. Ideally, there should be an option to deliver the output for Tailwind in a way that is more readable.

I agree. However, you can access prettify tools very easy, on both vscode and codepen. It is supposed to be just a click (or shortcut) away. Can you give me a scenario where you don't have access to these tools?

It would be nicer to have it built into the tool mainly to inspect what is going on. For larger (or smaller) HTML outputs, often a user might want to inspect what is coming out to see what they might want to tweak, add, or remove.

I use Vim and haven't figured out how to get that to work yet (I'm certain there's a way, so it's not worth adding it just for that reason).

The biggest issue is that I append the values to the end of the string, and sometimes use "\n", but it doesn't keep track of indentation. So I would need to keep track and then add the correct number of spaces for every newline..

You could also try this extension: https://github.com/prettier/vim-prettier

You're right, and it doesn't seem to be worth the effort at this point. Now that I've had some time to think about it, it might just be a better idea to leave it to the editor.

Thanks! haha
Yeah, ideally everybody should be using prettifier or something else. That might be a way to enforce those good practices 😛
