GroovyTemplates properties configuration

I'm trying to configure the properties of GroovyTemplates. I checked the reference document, but formatting options are not available through the application.properties file. So I did the following to customize some other properties.

@EnableAutoConfiguration
@Configuration
@ComponentScan
public class Application implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Autowired
    private GroovyTemplateAutoConfiguration.GroovyMarkupConfiguration configuration;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

    @Override
    public void run(String... strings) throws Exception {
        this.configuration.groovyTemplateConfiguration().setUseDoubleQuotes(true);
        this.configuration.groovyTemplateConfiguration().setAutoNewLine(true);
        this.configuration.groovyTemplateConfiguration().setAutoIndent(true);

    }
}

I can see the double quotes in the rendered HTML files. However, it is still unformatted.

So, I have two questions. The first one is, how can I set the properties properly? Most probably, the one I did is not the proper way. The second question is, why do I still get the unformatted HTML?

In the docs it says 

spring.groovy.template.configuration.*= # See Groovy's TemplateConfiguration

So I assume that corresponds up the properties you set (what you are doing isn't wrong, necessarily, but it might happen too late to influence the behaviour at runtime). I would stick with the application.properties if I were you.
