We have frozen these rules — we won't fix bugs nor add options, and we will deprecate then remove them in future releases. We recommend you use a pretty printer (like Prettier) alongside Stylelint rather than these rules. If you prefer to use Stylelint to enforce stylistic consistency, you can migrate the rules you need to a plugin.
