Why does Visual Studio's Format Document tool put heading tags over two lines?

Question

So if I have a HTML heading like this

<h2>A Heading</h2>

and I run Edit -> Format Document it ends up looking like this

<h2>
    A Heading</h2>

why is this? It doesn't do it to other block elements, but it does do it to other inline elements (eg <label>).

Update: To clarify, I mean why is this the default, not where are the settings to change this

Answer 1

It does it because that what its default settings are. To change it, go to:

Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Format > Tag Specific Options...

Under "Default Settings", change the "Line Breaks" option to "Before and After" for both the Client and the Server "tag supports contents" options.

From Scott Guthrie's blog:

If you format a selection of markup and see that a close tag hasn’t been moved to a separate line – it is because there is no space between the end of the preceding markup and the terminating tag, and as such VS is being careful not to change it to avoid changing the rendering semantics.
