Toot

Code formatters like ruff, black, and djade are great, but the way they casually delete empty lines and lack any ability to disable this "feature" is infuriating.

Code is dense and for many, hard to read without white space. Adding an extra blank line can mean a great deal for general readability and can do wonders for those with dyslexia.

Please just give me the option to have your tools just not nuke them!

@danielquinn Disagree, but also have you tried providing that vertical spacing you want via a comment?

@BoydStephenSmithJr yeah, I've had to resort to hacks like that, but it can actually end up taking away from the readability because the space is no longer empty. Doing this for Djade for example requires {# - #} to be added above a {% block %} tag, not exactly making things clearer :-(
