Way to disable formatting

[Elsie19]

Currently, I am trying to stylize a definition to make it clearer at a first glance:

ifStatement = {
    "if" ~ space+ ~ ifStatementMatch ~ newline+ ~ (space+)? ~ "then"
        ~ (space+ | newline+) ~ (#then_block = statement)+
        ~ (newline+ ~ "else" ~ newline+
        ~ (#else_block = statement)+)? ~ newline+ ~ (space+)? ~ "fi" }

But when I save the file, it turns into this:

ifStatement = {
    "if" ~ space+ ~ ifStatementMatch ~ newline+ ~ (space+)? ~ "then" ~ (space+ | newline+) ~ (#then_block = statement)+ ~ (newline+ ~ "else" ~ newline+ ~ (#else_block = statement)+)? ~ newline+ ~ (space+)? ~ "fi"
}

Which just compresses everything into one line. Is there a way or possibility of selectively disabling formatting for an arbitrary definition?

I've transferred this to pest-fmt since IDE tools just calls that.

I presume you want a comment syntax like // pest-fmt-disable which disables formatting for the next rule definition?

Yes, that would be preferable.

Seconded!
