# declaration-block-semicolon-newline-after Require a newline or disallow whitespace after the semicolons of declaration blocks. ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; ↑ } ↑ /** ↑ * The newline 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. This rule allows an end-of-line comment followed by a newline. For example, ```css a { color: pink; /* end-of-line comment */ top: 0; } ``` ## Options `string`: `"always"|"always-multi-line"|"never-multi-line"` ### `"always"` There *must always* be a newline after the semicolon. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; /* end-of-line comment containing a newline */ top: 0; } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; /* end-of-line comment */ top: 0; } ``` ### `"always-multi-line"` There *must always* be a newline after the semicolon in multi-line rules. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ### `"never-multi-line"` There *must never* be whitespace after the semicolon in multi-line rules. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { color: pink; } ``` ```css a { color: pink; top: 0; } ``` ```css a { color: pink ; top: 0; } ```
