 * Hi there
 * I would like to put a div around the folowing part switch ( $list_style ) {} 
   in the code below
 *     ```
       <?php endif;
       while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) :
       $wp_query->the_post();
   
       switch ( $list_style ) {very long coding, in short get_post_format or custom post formats}
       endwhile;
       else : ?>
       ```
   
 * Any ideas. I did try to echo it outside the php tag, but it is not working. I’m
   still learning wordpress, so any help will be appreciated.
 * Many thank
