VSCode: How do I KEEP blank lines (in scss files or others)?

Question

VSCode deletes empty lines by default in certain cases, but what if I want to preserve/keep blank/empty lines in a document? For example, in my .scss file, I want to keep the blank lines that I made in between nested styles within a parent between properties and children, but "Format Document" keeps removing them. How can I tell VSCode to not remove any blank lines that I make? It seems to keep them for other file types.

You can tryout the extension Beautify

• Download it through VSCode's Extensions Manager.
• Once installed, from the top menu select Go -> Go to File...
• In the command line type, >b
• You should then see an command for Beautify File
• Click it. It should format your opened .SCSS file and preserve the blank spaces between each CSS rule set (if they were there already).
