html - How do I auto format Ruby or .erb files in VS Code?

Question

I press ? + ? + F in Visual Studio Code for macOS, the shortcut to Format Document, to format a file called foo.rb or foo.html.erb.

Instead of formatting the document it prints out this letter: ?

How do I get it to format the document?

Answer 1

You can set format associations in VSCode, so .erb files would be treated like .html.

Go to File->Preferences->Settings->Click ... in top right corner->Open settings.json

Then add this piece of code to your settings.json

"files.associations": {
   "*.html.erb": "html"
}

This is how I solved this problem. It will remove some of the code highlights but will autoformat HTML templates like an HTML document.
