Hi, so I just installed this extension that should format and clean up my html code. Its my first time using VScode (new to comp. sci) and I would be grateful for any help. The extension is called XML Format

On the extension page, it should explain how to use
If the issue is that you don't know how to open the command palette it's ctrl+shift+p.
If you really can't find how, can you send the link if the extension you installed?
Perhaps this link (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/introvideos/extend) can help you.

Here I purposefully moved my code around more than it was just to see if the thing is really working
after clicking this (I ended up using prettier instead) it isint doing anything
I even went into VSCode settings and nothing

I see. Have you tried selecting some part of your code?
Maybe it works by selection?
Again, that would be nice if you could send the link to the extension

Maybe it works by selection?
yep. At one point it said it cant do stuff with HTML files but it says that its HTML compatible?

From what I understand from a quick read is that you need to install additional plugins to support whatever language you want

I don't know if that includes html or not
So do a bit of research, read their doc
They also seem to recommend you to install prettier locally in your project
