How to format HTML in a PHP file in Visual Studio Code

Question

I tried:

• ALT + SHIFT + F
• CTRL + K, CTRL + D
• CTRL + K, CTRL + F

Also when I search for format via CTRL + SHIFT + P, there are no search results.

Solution 1

The problem is that Visual Studio Code won't format HTML if the file has a PHP extension (index.php). I'm going to post a new question that includes this information.

Solution 2

On Windows, code formatting is available in VSCode through the shortcut Shift + Alt + F.

On Mac, it is available through the shortcut Shift + Option + F.

On Ubuntu, it's Ctrl + Shift + i.

Note: in the bottom right of the screen, it will show the text file form. Maybe plain text, PHP, HTML etc. If you click this you can switch the format of the file before issuing the above shortcuts.
