Auto-formatting of quarto file

[FabienSe]

Hello !

Quarto files are a type of markdown file but still are not detected as a markdown file by Vscode.
Thus it is impossible to use classic formatter to format quarto file.
The more annoying thing is to manually format table.

It is possible to add it to this extension ? Or make it possible to use quarto file with other extension which format markdown file ?

I tired to manually change the association of the file extension(.qmd) to markdown in the vscode settings but I am losing all the benefices of this extension.

Thanks a lot for your help

Many markdown extensions assume they are dealing with plain markdown or gfm based markdown so they end up behaving unexpectedly with Quarto's more sophisticated markdown dialect. We've therefore found it safer to not automatically bind to the markdown extensions in the wild but rather have them opt-in by explicitly targeting the quarto language id. So the best thing you can do is post issues or provide PRs to extensions that you want to have work w/ Quarto.

I still have this issue.

Can you point to a tool that auto-formats the markdown in a Quarto file?

It seems unfortunate to close this issue if there's not even one.

Just to point out my real desire: a pre-commit filter that auto-formats, so our team can agree on a format and stick to it. I might open an issue on this instead of commenting on a closed one.
