html formatter doesn't support handlebars partial blocks (`#>`)

See original GitHub issue

Description

The handlebars support in the HTML beautifier is incomplete and doesn’t account for partial blocks. (as documented here: https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/partials.html#partial-blocks)

Input

The code looked like this before beautification:

{{#>row}}
    {{#>column}}
        <span>content</span>
    {{/column}}
{{/row}}

Expected Output

The code should have looked like this after beautification:

{{#>row}}
    {{#>column}}
        <span>content</span>
    {{/column}}
{{/row}}

Actual Output

The code actually looked like this after beautification:

{{#>row}}
    {{#>column}}
        <span>content</span>
        {{/column}}
        {{/row}}

Steps to Reproduce

Environment

OS: Windows 10 Pro VSCode version: 1.52.0

Settings

{
  "html.format.indentHandlebars": true,
  "html.format.enable": true,
}

@Goobles
It is likely that the version inside vscode is out of date, so it is probably missing some fixes.

The space fixing the issue comes from here: https://github.com/beautify-web/js-beautify/blob/5bfad82226f98a5f6543fbde96e479e6763fd3cd/js/src/html/tokenizer.js#L71

The earlier code segment expects there to be two separate tokens for the start of the block the {{#> and the word following. So, we need some combination of fixes between the two.

I won’t have time to work on this any time soon, but PRs are welcome.
