### Structure

- `index.html`: html + javascript. Collect settings from UI, call the beautify function, load/save/update cached settings.
- `main.ts`: typescript. Some code required by `index.html` are moved here.
- `VHDLFormatter.ts`: typescript. Define classes, format VHDL code
- `tests`: folder. Contain all test files
  - *.test.ts: typescript. Proper test files.
  - `VHDLFormatterUnitTests.ts`: typescript. Handcrafted, crude tests.
- `VHDLFiles`: vhdl. Contain complicated VHDL files which I don't want to lose.
