If you haven’t read those yet, please see our post on "Introducing the Formatter" and "Comparing the JustCode Formatter to the Visual Studio Formatter". One of our design goals was to make sure the Formatter is much more customizable than Visual Studio’s, and in this post, we will show you how easy it is to customize it.
