Why doesn’t Visual Studio code formatting work properly for Razor markup?

by

Be sure to set the editor to use space characters and not tabs. The editor seems to completely lose its mind when tabs are used. This is a shame because all those space characters end up in the actual HTML output, greatly increasing the data transfer size.
What I do is manually supplement the automatic formatting as I type. Not ideal, but hopefully Microsoft will have this figured out for the next service pack.
