Keeping New lines

Would it be possible to keep original newlines by simply adding: preserve_max_newlines:1 to beautify options?

By modifying n_newlines condition it’s “probably” easy to preserve the nl. What do you think?

Of course if the patch is wrong i’d like to understand why.

Thanks

I know this issue was created with js in mind, but it would be great to have a fix for HTML as well.
