In Markdown, spaces will be added between Chinese characters and English characters #3802
Description
Summary
I just use the Shift+Alt+F key to format in Markdown format, which adds a space between Chinese characters and English characters.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Set markdown default formatter to prettier.
- Just use the Shift+Alt+F to format the .md file.
Expected result
There will be no spaces between Chinese and English characters.
Actual result
Added spaces between Chinese and English characters.
Additional information
I deleted all other markdown plugins and found that it still adds spaces. I found the following information in the prettier documentation: https://prettier.io/blog/2023/07/05/3.0.0#markdown
Explanation 3.0 onwards, prettier will not add spaces between Chinese characters and English characters, and I also noticed that #1759 issue mentioned the desire to add spaces, indicating that it might not have existed originally, but I don't know why it has now.
