Beautify Adds Unwanted Space after "&"

[guitargeek534]

• Windows 10 (2004):
• VS Code Version 1.50.1:
• beautify Version 1.5.0:

I would like to know what to change/add to my settings to prevent a space from being added after a "&" and a ";" in xml codes like "&& < >".

Thank you!

Action performed

Format javascript file with HookyQR.beautifyFile command

function pad3(number) {
var length = 3;
var str = '' + number;
while (str.length < length) {
  str = '0' + str;
}
return str;
}

function IsNumeric(input) {
return (input - 0) == input &&
input.length >
0;
}

Expected results

Expected format to

   function pad3(number) {
      var length = 3;
      var str = '' + number;
      while (str.length < length) {
        str = '0' + str;
      }
      return str;
    }

    function IsNumeric(input) {
      return (input - 0) == input &&
      input.length >
      0;
    }

NOTE - My project requires that I use xml characters/entities for &&, <, and >. So in my code I must write && for &&. < for < and > for >. When I format a space is added after the "&" (see below) which breaks my code.

Actual results

Details of what happened ...

   function pad3(number) {
      var length = 3;
      var str = '' + number;
      while (str.length & lt; length) {
        str = '0' + str;
      }
      return str;
    }

    function IsNumeric(input) {
      return (input - 0) == input & amp; & amp;
      input.length & gt;
      0;
    }
