autoDetectIndent

Automatically detect indentation style (spaces vs tabs, indent size) from the file content and apply it consistently across all formatting rules.

Disabled by default. When enabled, detected indentation overrides indentSize settings in other rules.

Options

Property	Type	Default	Description
`enabled`	`boolean`	`false`	Enable/disable auto-detection
`fallbackIndentSize`	`number`	`2`	Default indent size if detection fails
`fallbackIndentType`	`string`	`"space"`	Default indent type: `"space"` or `"tab"`
`minConfidence`	`number`	`0.7`	Minimum confidence score (0-1) to use detected indentation

{
  "autoDetectIndent": {
    "enabled": true,
    "fallbackIndentSize": 2,
    "fallbackIndentType": "space",
    "minConfidence": 0.7
  }
}

If a file primarily uses 4-space indentation, the formatter preserves it:

Before:

<Component
      propA="value1"
  propB="value2"
            propC="value3" />

After (detected 4-space indent):

<Component
    propA="value1"
    propB="value2"
    propC="value3" />

If a file uses tabs, HTML block formatting also uses tabs:

Before:

<dl>
<dt>Term</dt>
<dd>Definition</dd>
</dl>

After (detected tab indent):

<dl>
	<dt>Term</dt>
	<dd>Definition</dd>
</dl>

If the file has no clear indentation pattern, the fallbackIndentSize and fallbackIndentType values are used (default: 2 spaces).
