Change behavior of max_line_length = off to ignore line breaks

[Richard87]

This is relevant: #14514

When I discovered the "max_line_length = off" option, and that Prettier supported it, I expected Prettier to leave newlines alone, and let me add them inn where I thought appropriate.

Instead I got super long lines.

I want to controll newlines my self, and if I want max_line_length to be 9007199254740991, i can set it myself (or something more reasonable like 500, 5.000 or 50.000 :)

Can you update this issue according to the issue template?

We don't have an existing option for the expected behavior "leave newlines alone", you can use "off" for your other tools, but you have to pick a printWidth in .prettierrc if you don't want us treat it as Infinity.

Yes, thats what i found out.

My request is to make it work like I expexted (i hope Im not the only one that feels thid way).

But, is it something Prettier would be interredting in supporting? Would it be possible, or very hard? 🙂

We won't support it, sorry!
