It is not a Hugo question. I am a Vim user and would like to use prettier for Hugo. The question is, how can I configure prettier for the md and html files?

Try adding `"proseWrap": "always"` to you your `.prettierrc`. Docs: [https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#prose-wrap](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#prose-wrap)

I wrote a small plugin for prettier, which formats html without breaking the `{{ }}`:

[prettier-plugin-go-template](https://github.com/NiklasPor/prettier-plugin-go-template)

To use it with GoHugo or basic `.html` files, you’ll have to override the used parser inside your `.prettierrc` file:

```auto
{
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": ["*.html"],
      "options": {
        "parser": "go-template"
      }
    }
  ]
}

```
