formatting code samples in markdown files (fsharp blocks) and <code> elements in xml comments? #2982

Open smoothdeveloper opened 8 months ago

I propose fantomas goes where code formatters rarely go, for code that is most displayed to large audience: code documentation.

F# codeblocks in markdown files
code elements (identified as being F#) in xml comments of .net projects
maybe F# code samples in sandcastle doc

Pros

consistent formatting in F# code shown in documentation

Cons

may require third party deps, or work on writing parsers/printers for formats that are alien to fantomas

This seems like something some tool or script could do outside of Fantomas using Fantomas.Core.

Side note, FSharp.Formatting scripts can be formatted because they are just scripts.
