# declaration-block-trailing-semicolon

Require or disallow a trailing semicolon within declaration blocks.

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
a { background: orange; color: pink; }
/**                                ↑
 *                    This semicolon */
```

The trailing semicolon is the _last_ semicolon in a declaration block and it is optional.

This rule ignores:

- Less mixins
- trailing `//` comments
- declaration blocks containing nested (at-)rules

The [`fix` option](../../../docs/user-guide/usage/options.md#fix) can automatically fix all of the problems reported by this rule.
