Description

I have a project with windows text line delimiter ('\r\n').
when I open an .html file with the "Generic text editor" and I format the file, the EOL is transformed in the unix one ('\n')

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Generic text editor by opening an .html file from a project configured with Windows CRLF line endings and invoking CTRL-SHIFT-F. Trace the formatting entry point and verify that formatting preserves the project's EOL setting rather than converting it to Unix LF.
