To set Prettier as a default formatter for your editor, you need to install the Prettier extension for your editor and configure your editor to use Prettier as the default formatter.

Here's an example of how to set up Prettier as the default formatter for Visual Studio Code:

1. Install the Prettier extension for VS Code.

2. Open the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows, Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac).

3. Search for "Preferences: Open User Settings" and select it.

4. In the search bar of the settings window, type "formatter".

5. Under "Editor: Default Formatter", select "esbenp.prettier-vscode".

Now, whenever you save a file, Prettier will format it automatically based on your preferred settings. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Alt+F to format the current file.

Note: These steps may vary slightly depending on your editor and the Prettier extension you're using.

Here's a sample code in Python that turns Linux terminal code from the clipboard into beautified HTML with a black background. The script makes use of the pygments module to syntax highlight the text and clipboard module to get the text from the clipboard.

Python:

python
 
 
Copy code
import pygments
import pygments.lexers
import pygments.formatters
import clipboard

# Get text from clipboard
text = clipboard.paste()

# Set the lexer and formatter for the code highlight
lexer = pygments.lexers.TerminalLexer()
formatter = pygments.formatters.HtmlFormatter(style='monokai', full=True)

# Add a black background to the HTML output
formatter.style.background_color = "#000000"

# Highlight the text and create the HTML file
highlighted_text = pygments.highlight(text, lexer, formatter)

# Save the HTML file
with open('beautified.html', 'w') as f:
    f.write(highlighted_text)

To run this script on Wayland, you will need to have the wl-clipboard package installed, which provides clipboard integration for Wayland. You can install it using the command sudo apt-get install wl-clipboard. After installing wl-clipboard, you can replace the clipboard module with the wlclipboard module in the code, as shown below:

python
 
 
Copy code
import pygments
import pygments.lexers
import pygments.formatters
import wlclipboard

# Get text from clipboard
text = wlclipboard.get_text()

# Set the lexer and formatter for the code highlight
lexer = pygments.lexers.TerminalLexer()
formatter = pygments.formatters.HtmlFormatter(style='monokai', full=True)

# Add a black background to the HTML output
formatter.style.background_color = "#000000"

# Highlight the text and create the HTML file
highlighted_text = pygments.highlight(text, lexer, formatter)

# Save the HTML file
with open('beautified.html', 'w') as f:
    f.write(highlighted_text)

Note: This code is just a sample and might need to be adapted for your specific use-case.

To use Prettier in Visual Studio Code, you need to ensure that the Prettier extension is installed. You can check if it's installed by following these steps:

1. Open Visual Studio Code
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + X or click on the extension icon on the left navigation bar
3. In the “Extensions Marketplace” search bar, search for “Prettier - Code formatter”
4. If it's not installed, you should see an option to install it. Click on "Install".

If it is already installed and you still cannot find it:

1. Check if the extension is enabled - Press Ctrl + Shift + P and search for "Prettier: Enable/Disable", and make sure it's enabled.

2. Verify the configuration settings - Press Ctrl + Space to open up a new Terminal, paste the JSON file below, and press enter.json { "printWidth": 80, "editor.formatOnSave": true } This will set your editor.formatOnSave setting to 'true' and allow Prettier to format your code on save.

If you're still having issues after trying these steps, feel free to check out the Prettier documentation at https://prettier.io/docs/en/index.html or the VSCode documentation at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics.

There may be several reasons why your Prettier formatter is not working even after restarting Visual Studio. Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help:

• Make sure the Prettier extension is installed: You can check for installed extensions by clicking on the Extensions button on the left bar of Visual Studio Code (VS Code). Search for "prettier" and make sure it is installed.
• Check your VS Code settings: Sometimes, the settings in VS Code may conflict with Prettier. Go to File > Preferences > Settings, search for "prettier" and make sure the settings are correct.
• Check for conflicts with other extensions: Other extensions may be conflicting with Prettier, causing it not to work correctly. Try disabling other extensions to see whether that resolves the issue.
• Reinstall the Prettier extension: If all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Prettier extension.

Here's an example of how to reinstall the Prettier extension in VS Code:

javascript
 
 
Copy code
1. Click on the Extensions button on the left bar of VS Code
2. Search for "prettier" and click on "Uninstall"
3. Once it's uninstalled, restart VS Code
4. Go back to the Extensions panel and search for "prettier" again
5. Click on "Install" to reinstall the extension
6. Once it's installed, restart VS Code again

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to seek additional technical support or consult online resources.
