Ignoring Code

Use HTML comments to prevent the formatter from touching specific elements, ranges, or entire files.

Both dprint-ignore and svg-format-ignore prefixes are recognized.

Ignore the next element

<!-- dprint-ignore -->
<rect y="20" x="10" height="50" width="100" />

The <rect> keeps its original attribute order and whitespace.

Ignore a range

<!-- dprint-ignore-start -->
<rect y="20" x="10" />
<circle r="30" cx="1" cy="2" />
<!-- dprint-ignore-end -->

Everything between the start and end markers is preserved verbatim, including blank lines and indentation.

Ignore an entire file

Place this comment anywhere in the file:

<!-- dprint-ignore-file -->

The formatter returns the file unchanged.

Prefix variants

Both prefixes work interchangeably:
