I sometimes create very, very long expressions for school, and I would like to use opening brackets on one line, a newline character, and then the closing bracket on another line.

Is this possible? Is there something similar to phantom {} that recognizes the brackets without printing them?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can't stop it. You have to match the brackets on each line, but you can match left or right with a none printing bracket. "left none" will match any right bracket, and "right none" will match a left bracket, to allow things like cases. Here's a code example.
Code:
left ( line1 right none newline
   line2 newline
   line3 newline
   left none line4 right )

This workaround is a bit tedious, however, if you must use other brackets, then use this.
color white left [ color black{ very very} right none newline
long long newline
color white left none color black{ very very long eq} right ) newline
just use white paper. heh
