Prettier not formatting things correctly

I used Emmett to give 6 buttons with class btn and content as submit.
btn.btn*6{submit}
emmet worked correctly and gave the below thing as outputenter image description here
but when I saved the file prettier is formatting it incorrectly and breaking the button on two lines as below enter image description here
my solution about the case is you can disable prettier extension for a moment and try to save your code with the first picture format (not breaking into two lines). And try to run your project/app. After the program run successfully, you can enable the prettier again. Hope it can help you.

Froala Editor - Don't Minify (condense/squish) My Code

Is there a setting in Froala to stop it from squishing the values entered while in code view mode? We need to maintain the HTML and when it gets minified it is a nightmare to work on.
I had a similar problem, and I was able to solve it by following this link:
https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/docs/options#code-beautifier
By adding the code beautifier options (by including the code_beautifier.min.js file in your build), the line breaks and tabs are preserved.

Page shows code not rendering

I know this is simple question, but i am fighting with it for few hrs, so its better to ask in forum to get help quickly. I have added the following simple html snippet in a TextEdit program and saved the file as webpage(.html). When I run this file in any browser, like safari, chrome or firefox, it shows the same code there instead of rendering this as web page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Could someone help me to show this as real web page rather than source code showing?
If you have access to the server scripts creating the page, then check if somewhere the http headers are being changed by that code. The browser needs to receive a header like that
Content-Type: text/html
[example in PHP: header(Content-Type: text/html);]
in order to render html properly. If this header is changed, then the browser won't be able to interpret it as html.
It is likely that TextEdit has formatted your text, since by saving it as a Web Document it thinks that you have typed up the web page how you want it displayed, with all formatting, instead of raw HTML code. Try to save the document as raw text, then change the extension manually from whatever it is (probably .txt) to .html. For a more permanent solution, it is advisable to use a non-formatting text editor when coding.
EDIT: This is what Apple have to say: http://support.apple.com/kb/ta20406
The solution to your problem is simple.
Just open TextEdit and go to preferences.
Just tick the box which says"display html files as html code instead of formatted text".
Your problem will be solved. :)
You have saved the text you pasted in as HTML content, in the HTML editor. Instead, you should try to paste the text in the code view, not the editor view.
In case any of you have already created the file and not sure how to proceed, open the file in TextEdit. Go to Format -> Make plan text. Then save and close the file. Then open the file location in finder and rename to .html and this will convert the file appropriately.

Fix formatting of aspx file in Visual Studio?

I have a file with a lot of this kind of thing in it:
<asp:TableCell ID="TableCell9" runat="server">Company
Organization:</asp:TableCell><asp:TableCell ID="TableCell10" runat="server">
How can I get the formatter to change it to shows like this:
<asp:TableCell ID="TableCell9" runat="server">Company Organization:</asp:TableCell>
<asp:TableCell ID="TableCell10" runat="server">
What I have tried:
I opened Tools->Options then browsed to Text Editor. I got a list of Languages. I selected HTML because that is the language that controls formatting for aspx files.
I changed "tag wrapping" to not have "Wrap tags when exceeding specified length" checked.
I then pressed ctrl+k, ctrl+d (Format the document). This did not fix the problem.
What I don't want to have to do:
Edit the file manually to fix all the tags.
Any ideas?
I was having the same problem, and I found the answer on Scott Gu's blog.
The solution is to setup the formatting rules in Visual Studio (right click on any tag, click on Formatting and Validation, click on Tag Specific Options)
When press ctrl-k, ctrl-d the document will format as per your settings. If a closing tag does not move to a new line, it's because there is no space between the end tag and what is preceding it. This happens because Visual Studio is being careful to not change how the page is rendered.

I found a way that works.
In the list with HTML there is a File Extension Option.
I added ASPX to that list and said to edit it with an XML editor (I suppose I could have just right clicked it and opened it with the xml editor, but I did not think of that till after).
Anyway, once it is open as an XML File I formatted it (ctrl+k, ctrl+d) and it formated the way I wanted it. I then removed the extension mapping and reopend the file again.
One last formatting adjusted the tab spacing and I was perfect!
Note: When I did this the top line had this change made: from Page Language="C#" to Page="" Language="C#" I changed it back manually and all seemed to be well.
Later Note: Sadly, Visual Studio messes up the formatting every time I run the solution. Note that pressing ctrl+k, ctrl+d is fine and keeps my nice formatting, but when I run, Visual Studio collapses it down to a very unreadable format. :( Don't know how to fix it....
The answer should be:
Tools-Options->Text Editor->HTML-Format->Tag Specific Options
Then in ASP.NET Controls look for your tag. If it's not there you might need to Add it (New Tag) and set the Line breaks as you want them.
However I've found that this does not always work.Visual Studio respects the per tag colorization but Line breaks are not always respected.
So if this doesn't work for you, you might need to do a Search-Replace hack (Look for and replace with a NewLine in the middle), thenk try Format document and that should work.
