Visual Studio Code html formatting doesn't work

Question

Code formatting doesn't seem work in Visual Studio Code. I have tried with shift+alt+f, but it wouldn't format html code. I run ctrl+shift+p and type Format and only option I have is Format Document(shift+alt+f) and Format Selection (don't have Format code). I don't understand what I' doing wrong? Do I need to install some kind of extension in order for this formatting to work on html files?

Answer 1

This worked for me:

1. Right click inside html file that is being edited.
2. Select "Format Document With...".
3. Selected "Configure Default Formatter ...".
4. Changed from "Prettier - Code formatter" to "HTML Language Features".

Answer 2

This worked for me in Visual Studio 2015 (VS2015):

1. Right-click on the code window with the HTML you want to format
2. Click 'Un-minify" in the popup menu.

That worked for me when Format Document (Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D) and Format Selection (Ctrk-K, Ctrl-F) failed to format HTML that I pasted into a Visual Studio HTML document.
