# comment-whitespace-inside Require or disallow whitespace on the inside of comment markers. ```css /* comment */ /** ↑ ↑ * The space inside these two markers */ ``` Any number of asterisks are allowed at the beginning or end of the comment. So `/** comment **/` is treated the same way as `/* comment */`. **Caveat:** Comments within *selector and value lists* are currently ignored. ## Options `string`: `"always"|"never"` ### `"always"` There *must always* be whitespace inside the markers. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css /*comment*/ ``` ```css /*comment */ ``` ```css /** comment**/ ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css /* comment */ ``` ```css /** comment **/ ``` ```css /** * comment */ ``` ```css /* comment */ ``` ### `"never"` There *must never* be whitespace on the inside the markers. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css /* comment */ ``` ```css /*comment */ ``` ```css /** comment**/ ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css /*comment*/ ``` ```css /****comment****/ ```
