Our local team policy is to always run mix format on our codebase. However, it’s causing me some grief at the moment.

I have in my LiveView code:

<textarea
  id={"#{@id}-new-note"}
  placeholder="Add new note ..."
></textarea>

mix format turns this into:

<textarea
  id={"#{@id}-new-note"}
  placeholder="Add new note ..."
>
</textarea>

Unfortunately, while normally white space in HTML is not significant, in this case it will cause the textarea to have white-space as its value. Which in turn means that a browser won’t show the placeholder text.

Anyone have any suggestions? I couldn’t see an option to control this, or anything analogous to eslint-disable-next-line to temporarily turn off formatting for a specific region of code.
