Format Selection doesn't work

Do you have some info on what kind of file & selection it doesn't work with? And have you tried different selections in different types of files? Also, can you share the output from the extension console. To see it first enable extension development in Preferences > General. Then you can open the console through Extensions > Show extension console

I have the same issue. I tried TypeScript files and CSS files. When I look at the Debug Pane, it just says 'Formatting -file-' followed by 'No changes for -file-'.

It's not working for me either. Here is the output of the extentions console.

Prettier[16:12:47.139000] Formatting /Users/david/Sites/project/index.html
Prettier[16:12:47.270000] No changes for /Users/david/Sites/project/index.html

Here is my .prettierrc

{
	"proseWrap": "preserve",
	"bracketSameLine": true,
	"singleQuote": true,
	"endOfLine": "lf",
	"printWidth": 100,
	"order": "smacss",
	"tabWidth": 2,
	"useTabs": true
}

this was the selection i tried to format. I just wanted it to shorten the lines.

<main class="container">
        <h2>What is this landing page about?</h2>

</main>

This seems to be an issue with Prettier's HTML parser (and some others like Vue). I can't seem to get it to work with the Prettier CLI either so I don't quite understand how it works in VSCode.
