Not formatting my xml, don't see a trace of the plugin being used/loaded in the prettier output

[piejanssens]

Using VS Code in WSL mode, prettier and @prettier/plugin-xml installed globally.

The only formatting effect that I see is in my test.xml the space added in the declaration changing it from <?xml version="1.0"?> to <?xml version="1.0" ?>.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

By default every tag in XML is whitespace-sensitive, so this is acting as designed. If you want to ignore whitespace sensitivity, you should use the option listed in the README, and set xmlWhitespaceSensitivity to "ignore".

[piejanssens]

Thanks, I did read the README, but didn't see or think that the xmlWhitespaceSensitivity would have that effect.
Adding "prettier.xmlWhitespaceSensitivity": "ignore" to vscode settings.json does not get passed to prettier or the plugin.
Adding it to a .prettierrc file does get taken into consideration, but I don't see the formatting happening.

Can you run it again with the debug and put the output here?

[piejanssens]

Today it works. Strange, but I'll take it. I'll file an issue with the vs code plugin as it would be really great if a global default config could be set via settings.json.
