@jrieken Would this be enabled by the commanding work?

Unsure if I understand correctly. @kasik96 Do you want to be able to format a substring of a document, e.g. a string literal inside a JS file, or do you want to contribute a formatter for that targets string literals?

Ok, example of my use:
I make a PHP Format, but lot of people use HTML with PHP in it. So first i use my PHP Format and after it on the same String(etc. Code i wrote) i want to use VS Code native HTML format. But i dont find any way to use VS Code HTML format on String.

In theory with the updating release you will be able to invoke the vscode.executeFormatDocumentProvider-command to get all format edits for a given document but it will recurse it yourself again. So be cautious with that.

Despite, I believe the proper way to address this is using scopes. That is when registering your php formatter you can say: this is for php-files and the php-portion of html files with a DocumentSelector like this ['php', { language: 'html', scope: 'php.scope'}].

This issue is related (maybe a dup) of #580.

@alexandrudima @aeschli Mixed modes are a topic we should figure out how to handle
