Indent blank lines (IntelliJ IDEA)

I'd like to set the IDEA formatter to keep indentations on blank lines. Currently when I reformat my source files, it strips all indents on blank lines.

I could not find anything on Google nor could I find a setting in the formatter.

Try this option: File->Settings->Editor->CodeStyle. Find and enable checkbox "Keep indents on empty lines" there . (available on my intellij idea 14.0.2)

Though I can't seem to make it work as of IntelliJ 14.0.3, there does seem to be an option for this: Keep indents on empty lines.

You can't make IntelliJ IDEA add indentation to blank lines, but you can prevent it from removing them, as shown in this answer to this question.

Settings | Editor | Strip trailing spaces on Save -> None.

The IntelliJ IDEA formatter does not indent blank lines and does not provide any option to do so.
