Is there a way to exclude lines from being auto-formatted? #235

Are there annotations that can be added to the code to omit certain lines from autoformatting?

Never mind. Looks like this is a feature specific to formatters: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33258159/how-to-make-clang-format-skip-sections-of-c-code

Yes exactly. For example clang-format does support clang-format off directives: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html#clang-format-style-options. YMMV with different formatters.

You're not going to want to embed formatting rules in anything specific to a vim plugin because they'd be blown away when you format the file outside vim.

OTOH, #9 to format lines more selectively could be helpful here to not have the formatter fighting you quite so aggressively when you are unlucky enough to be fighting the formatter.
