Note

Claude Code helped us get this code over the finish line, but all the tests are hand written (expcept for the fuzz tests, which are generated by Go's fuzzer), and all code is human inspected and understood.

This is a Go HTML template formatter (we may add other formats in the future). The formatting is greatly inspired by prettier-plugin-go-template. Some notable differences:

• We focus on getting the overall structure right, and not on formatting details (which is often highly subjective).
• We use ... tabs and not spaces for indentation.
• define blocks don't trigger indentation. See this issue for some discussion.
• We don't try to format script and style blocks.
• We don't auto-add trailing newlines to the document; see this issue for some context.
• We don't read .prettierignore.
• But we do support {{/* gotmplfmt-ignore-all */}}, {{/* gotmplfmt-ignore-start */}} and {{/* gotmplfmt-ignore-end */}}.
• And we also care about idempotency, so if you run into a example where we format differently on subsequent runs, please report it as a bug.

Usage
