fmt: preserve spacing in templates to allow for organizing code
Author: andradeiCreated Dec 29, 2023Updated Jul 1, 2026
They are useful to organize HTML tags, but the formatter removes all empty lines.
Example:
This
templ Form() {
<a href="event/new">
+ Create
</a>
<form method="post" action="/event/new">
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input id="title" name="title" type="text" required class="border rounded-lg block"/>
<label for="date">Title</label>
<input id="date" name="date" type="date" required class="border rounded-lg"/>
<button type="submit">Create</button>
</form>
}becomes
templ Form() {
<a href="event/new">
+ Create
</a>
<form method="post" action="/event/new">
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input id="title" name="title" type="text" required class="border rounded-lg block"/>
<label for="date">Title</label>
<input id="date" name="date" type="date" required class="border rounded-lg"/>
<button type="submit">Create</button>
</form>
}It would be great if at least 1 blank line was kept on those situations.
