Description

I'd like to format HTML so attributes are on new lines. From what I've read in other places, js-beautify has this feature, but I don't see the option on the website. That would be super helpful!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the js beautify website codebase, likely in the 'js beautify web' or similar repository, to understand how existing formatting options are exposed. Look at the HTML beautifier options in the main library (e.g., 'options.js' or 'beautify html.js') to identify the 'wrap attributes' or similar setting. Then add a corresponding UI element (checkbox or dropdown) to the website's options panel. Check if any previous PRs or discussions address this feature and note any maintainer feedback.
