I found one "solution" that allows you to continue using tab indentation and have correct formatting. It's more of a pattern. The key is to use razor code blocks instead of inline code.

So for example, replace the following:

    

        @if (true)
        {
            Hi
        }
    

with:

    

        @{
            if (true)
            {
                Hi
            }
        }
    

The latter will format correctly, but the former won't.

Keep in mind, the formatting isn't perfect, but it's better than before.
