Suggest to your team to use an IDE-agnostic formatting method so devs aren't locked down to a single IDE.

By default, the markers are @formatter:on and @formatter:off, that have to be used in an inline comment. So, for example, returning to our original Foo.java class, using the markers:

IntelliJ IDEA: Coding style and code formatting
December 19, 2023 - IntelliJ IDEA has a "Code" menu entry for various code manipulations. One such manipulation is "Reformat Code", which you can apply using Ctrl+L.
