Format html code in Visual Studio Code such that attributes are on separate lines?

VSCode added a way to do this now. You can edit your settings.json (ctrl+shift+p) and then add the following for the desired effect:

"html.format.wrapAttributes": "force-aligned"

--or--

"html.format.wrapAttributes": "force"

force-aligned will also add indents to align it with the attribute on the line where tag was opened.

My extended html was being limited by the "Prettier: Print width" setting, I thought I'd put a random value as 0, but then all the tags start breaking the attributes. So he put 10,000. This solved my problem.


There are differnt "formatter" extensions, but one I found does a decent job of this exact formatting that you are looking for. It's called "vscode-tidyhtml".

  1. Click on the Extensions icon on the left hand side
  2. Search for and install "vscode-tidyhtml", reload Visual Studio Code
  3. Hit the "F1" key, and then type "TidyHtml", hit enter

It should format HTML so that attributes are on different lines. I am not sure if it works well for other file types.
