# declaration-block-semicolon-space-after Require a single space or disallow whitespace after the semicolons of declaration blocks. ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } /** ↑ * The space after this semicolon */ ``` This rule ignores semicolons that are preceded by Less mixins. This rule ignores the last semicolon of declaration blocks. Use the `block-closing-brace-*-before` rules to control the whitespace between the last semicolon and the closing brace instead. ## Options `string`: `"always"|"never"|"always-single-line"|"never-single-line"` ### `"always"` There *must always* be a single space after the semicolon. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink;top: 0; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink;} ``` ```css a { color: pink; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ### `"never"` There *must never* be whitespace after the semicolon. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink;} ``` ```css a { color: pink; } ``` ```css a { color: pink;top: 0; } ``` ### `"always-single-line"` There *must always* be a single space after the semicolon in single-line declaration blocks. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink;top: 0; } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ### `"never-single-line"` There *must never* be whitespace after the semicolon in single-line declaration blocks. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink;top: 0; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ```
