Reconsider whether to indent the frontmatter section of Astro files when indentScriptAndStyle is enabled

[PFiS1737]

First of all, huge thanks to the developers for your hard work making support for Astro and other HTML-like files possible!

I noticed that when indentScriptAndStyle is enabled, the frontmatter section in Astro files also gets indented. After reading the update blog, I understand this is likely intentional. However, I think it might be worth reconsidering whether this section should be indented.

The frontmatter is typically used to hold static code, such as imports, variable declarations, and utility functions. Meanwhile, in the HTML-like section below, we have the <script> element to contain functions that handle the actual page logic.

Indenting this section feels like indenting the first few lines of a JavaScript or Rust file — which looks quite odd.

I’d like to kindly ask the developers to reconsider whether this indentation is truly necessary.

By the way, could we also keep a blank line after the frontmatter section? It looks cleaner that way and is more in line with common formatting conventions.

I don't hold particular attachments to the configuration for the Astro front matter, so feel free to send a PR as a bug fix. The prettier plugin doesn't indent too, so a bug fix sounds reasonable

Can you provide a code example?

I’m just a programming beginner, so it might be difficult for me to locate the relevant code and submit a PR, but I’m willing to give it a try.

Also, I noticed that #7980 mentioned a related issue — maybe it could be reopened for further discussion.

Can you provide a code example?

---
const title = "Example"
---

<div>{title}</div>

Notice the blank line on line 4 — the current formatter removes it, but in the Astro files I’ve looked at, this blank line is usually kept, and it indeed looks better that way.

Good to know! Would you mind opening an issue (task template) so we don't forget? It should be an easy fix, and I could point you where to fix it if you want to send a PR, so you don't spend too much time :)

Of course! I’ll open an issue, and I’d be glad to receive some guidance.
