Description
I'm building an app based on dioxus that uses the rsx! proc macro extensively. it's basically html with embedded rust closures. the rsx! macro even has an autoformatter [0] used by a vscode plugin. Since we can't run that in ci it would be really nice if we could somehow tell rustfmt how to format the code.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Dioxus formatter linked in packages/autofmt and the rustfmt project to understand the requested integration point. Determine whether proc macros can expose a formatting hook and define how CI would invoke it for rsx! code; done means a documented, usable approach that formats this macro consistently.
