block-opening-brace-newline-after ​

Require a newline after the opening brace of blocks.

css
  a {
    ↑ color: pink; }
/** ↑
 * The newline after this brace */

This rule allows an end-of-line comment followed by a newline. For example,

css
a { /* end-of-line comment */
  color: pink;
}

The fix option can automatically fix most of the problems reported by this rule. Over a block holding nothing but comments it writes only where the block-closing-brace-newline-before, block-closing-brace-space-before and block-closing-brace-empty-line-before rules, which write the same run, accept the result; otherwise the warning stands. Where a block-closing-brace-newline-before rule asks for a break in that run, the run is not written here at all: this rule judges the run behind the opening brace, which is the one its option names, and the neighbor writes its own break in front of the closing brace. A stray semicolon in that run stays where it is.
