Hello,
Thanks to those involved for their recent work with mix format which I have been trying out on 1.6rc0.
I find myself now wanting to format everything in my current Phoenix project, including my EEx templates.
The formatter does not currently do this, I was wondering if would even be the correct decision for the formatter to also do EEx files,
as they are so different to a regular Elixir file and I should instead be looking for a HTML formatter which can handle embedded code in it?
The downside to that would then be setting up two formatters for one project, the second one most likely being setup with Node/NPM,
which I guess isn't so bad as most Phoenix projects already have Node/NPM to handle assets.
What are people's thoughts on this?

Hey
How would the formatter know what format to use for eex files? It's often HTML but there is no guarantee that is the case.
Cheers,
Louis

Would matching the filename format to *.html.eex work?

It is certainly doable, but we would need to leave everything outside of <% ... %> untouched.
It is not in our plans to work on this feature though, so pull requests are appreciated!
