# block-spacing

Enforce or disallow spaces inside of blocks after the opening and closing brackets.

This rule enforces consistent spacing inside blocks by enforcing the opening token and the next token being on the same line. It also enforces consistent spacing with a closing token and the previous token being on the same line.
