Well, my first pass:
:%s/\([{;]\)\s*/\1\r /g
does a pretty simple version of what you describe. It's pretty
dumb, so there are some caveats:
1) it indents the closing "}" as well...a 2nd post-processing
pass could clean this up:
:%s/^\s*}\s*$
2) if for some reason you have a "{" or a ";" in a *value*
instead of as a token, it will get treated the same way:
a.foo{font-name:"colon;brace{ malformed font-name";}
(highly unlikely, but at least possible)
3) if more than one CSS declaration is on the same line:
a.foo{color:#f00;} a.bar{color:#ba5;}
you won't get a break after the "}". Though you can add this to
the set of characters if you want to force a line-break after
them too:
:%s/\([{};]\)\s*/\1\r /g
4) if your trailing CSS element has no semicolon, the closing
brace ("}") won't get moved to the next line:
a.foo{color:#f00;display:block}
I don't remember off the top of my head whether CSS requires
trailing semicolons, but I seem to recall browsers being somewhat
gracious regarding the omission.
However, one of the above expressions should get you fairly close
to what you want.
