How do you turn off formatting for certain file extensions?

It seems the editor has some incorrect formatting assumptions for *.hbs files.
I'm working on a custom template, is there a way to, in the csb config to disable formatting for certain file extensions?

We don't support disabling formatting specifically for handlebars files, but there are two approaches you may want to take.

Approach 1: disable auto-formatting

1. Open the command palette, search for "User settings"
2. In the settings, search for editor.format
3. Uncheck "Editor: Format on Save"

Approach 2: disable for HTML files (which also catches handlebars)

1. Open the command palette, search for "User settings"
2. In the settings, search for html.format
3. Uncheck "Enable/disable default HTML formatter."

Alternatively, you may also add a .vscode/settings.json file to your sandbox:

{
  "html.format.enable": false
}

can this be done in the sandbox settings json file in a template?
I'm working on a template and need control of the settings folks have enabled when they make sandboxes from my template

or, would that be .vscode/settings.json?

I believe adding it to .vscode/settings.json in your template will also have the same result for sandboxes created from your template.
