How Prettier Handles SVG Markup
Prettier treats SVG as a dialect of XML/HTML markup, applying its standard formatting rules for indentation, attribute wrapping, and line length to SVG elements the same way it would format any other markup, which keeps hand-edited or generated SVG readable and consistent with the rest of a project's formatted files.
- Prettier applies its standard markup formatting rules to SVG elements
- Handles indentation, attribute wrapping, and line length consistently
- Keeps hand-edited or generated SVG consistent with a project's other files
Formatting SVG Inside JSX and HTML
When SVG markup is embedded directly inside JSX or HTML templates rather than living in a standalone .svg file, Prettier formats it as part of the surrounding component or template file automatically, applying the same consistent rules without requiring a separate formatting step for the embedded markup.
- Embedded SVG inside JSX or HTML gets formatted as part of the surrounding file
- No separate formatting step is needed for inline embedded SVG markup
- Keeps embedded and standalone SVG markup consistently styled project-wide

Can Prettier format SVG embedded inside a React component?
