Will there ever be a formatter API?

I love the Elixir formatter. In fact, I’ve started using it for ordinary HTML files as well: GitHub - ream88/formatter: Format any HTML with mix format

However, this approach feels hacky and could break at any moment. My question is: Are there plans to extract the Elixir formatter into its own Hex package with a proper public API?

I don’t think the formatter will ever become an external package, because that would mean elixir itself can no longer use it. Elixir using it was one of the primary reasons for its creation though.

Can you elaborate on what exactly you mean by “this approach”?
