    Correct answer B i r n o u

    the Bracket preference setting interface has not been integrated in DW... so you have to write hard in the code...

    as Ben indicates, open the file beautify-php.js (in admin mode)

    if you replaced online 295 the string "collapse" by "expand" it should do the job, but in some cases I noticed that it was not taken into account

    so place a comment on line 295....

    and add a hard line containing

    opt.brace_style = "expand";

    I'm not real fussy about code formatting since it has zero effect on site performance.   But if you feel strongly about code format styles, go to your Dreamweaver Help menu >  Submit Bug/Feature Request.

    I'm not arguing, but it's not question of performance there, but readability...

    when we work on dozens of projects simultaneously and in addition with teams that have different requirements (isolated closures or not, tab vs spaces, extended verticality distance...) the formatting of the code quickly becomes an unavoidable necessity...

    on the beta forum itself we have 4 different topics just on formatting

    To see the script that formats the PHP code, go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2018\www\extensions\default\BracketsDWBeautify\thirdparty\beautify-php.js

    I have not found the section that is relevant to your problem, but it should not be too hard if you have the time.

    Line #34 of the script says:

    brace_style (default "collapse") - "collapse-preserve-inline" | "collapse" | "expand" | "end-expand" | "none"

    put braces on the same line as control statements (default), or put braces on own line (Allman / ANSI style), or just put end braces on own line, or attempt to keep them where they are.

    Then, when you do a find on 'brace_style' you will see all of the occurrences.

    When I have more time, I will go through the file and where it is used on the preferences side. In the meantime, maybe someone else can help you out.
