Description

I can't seem to get pretty formatter to work on my Freemarker documents (.ftl).
I've tried:

  • alt + shift + f (Format document)
  • Format document with... (and then selecting pretty formater)

and both times there are 0 changes made to the document. Is there something I'm missing?

Research direction

The report names no implementation file or test. Start by reproducing the problem in VS Code with a Freemarker .ftl document using both listed formatting commands, then trace how the extension selects and invokes Pretty Diff for that file type. Done means the formatter produces the expected document changes instead of reporting zero changes.
