How do you remove trailing spaces in all files except Markdown?

Question

In Visual Studio Code the setting

"files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true

removes trailing white space when files are saved, or Shift + Alt + F is used to format a file, but this breaks Markdown formatting.

How do you selectively turn off white space trimming for Markdown?

Answer 1

Add this line to your settings.json file.

"[markdown]": {
    "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": false
}
