My problem is quite simple:
when I use the php code formatter and let it format PHPDoc comments,
all the '|' characters are removed from the @return descriptions !

When I take an example from the phpDocumentor manual,

Before formatting :

    /**
     * example of showing multiple possible return types
     * @return int|string could be an int, could be a string
     */

After formatting :

    /**
     * example of showing multiple possible return types
     * 
     * @return int string be an int, could be a string
     */

which is totally wrong!
Is it a bug or is there a way to configure the formatter to not remove those '|' characters?

Thank you for your help!

I have the same issue and can tell you that it is a bug.
You can search in bugzilla for it and if you don't find anything, you should create there a new issue.
