Formatting HTML templates for Angular uses html parser instead of angular parser

What is the current/expected behavior?
Setting g:prettier#config#parser to empty string should let prettier decide on the parser. Instead, when editing html files, the parser seems to always be set to html. This is a problem when editing Angular templates.

What version of vim-prettier are you using - (output of :PrettierVersion) ?
1.0.0-alpha

What version of prettier are you using - (output of :PrettierCliVersion) ?
2.0.5

What is your prettier executable path - (output of :PrettierCliPath) ?
Absolute path to the project's node_modules/.bin/prettier

Did this work in previous versions of vim-prettier and/or prettier ?
Haven't tested

I solved this locally by just removing lines 1-8 of ftplugin/html.vim, that for some reason sets the parser to html as soon as the file is an html file, seemingly disregarding the setting of g:prettier#config#parser. I am guessing those lines were there for a reason, however.

Start with lines 1-8 of ftplugin/html.vim, which the report identifies as forcing the HTML parser, and inspect how that interacts with an empty g:prettier#config#parser. Verify the behavior using an HTML file containing an Angular template with vim-prettier 1.0.0-alpha and Prettier 2.0.5; done means Prettier can choose the Angular parser instead of always using HTML.
