Research direction
Investigate the js beautify codebase, particularly the HTML beautifier module (e.g., html/beautifier.js), to understand how options are parsed and applied. Look at existing options like 'indent inner html' for reference. Modify the configuration schema to add a new boolean option, e.g., 'no space self closing'. Update the logic in the formatting function to conditionally add a space before />. Add tests and update documentation.
