Description

Description

Title says, For me, VSCode HTML formatter does a better job formatting the *.svelte files I have rather than Prettier.

A simple option to choose what formatter is enabled by the extension would be very appreciated.

Proposed solution

Enable an option to use VSCode's internal formatter rather than being dependent on prettier.

Research direction
Explore how the extension currently formats Svelte files via Prettier, then investigate VSCode's document formatting API to offer a setting that switches to the built in formatter.
