+# declaration-property-max-values
+
+Limit the number of values for a list of properties within declarations.
+
+## Options
+
+`object`: `{ "unprefixed-property-name": int }`
+
+If a property name is surrounded with `"/"` (e.g. `"/^margin/"`), it is interpreted as a regular expression. This allows, for example, easy targeting of shorthands: `/^margin/` will match `margin`, `margin-top`, `margin-inline`, etc.
+
+Given:
+
+```json
+{
+  "border": 2,
+  "/^margin/": 1,
+},
+```
+
+The following patterns are considered problems:
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+```css
+a { border: 1px solid blue; }
+```
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+```css
+a { margin: 1px 2px; }
+```
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+```css
+a { margin-inline: 1px 2px; }
+```
+
+The following patterns are _not_ considered problems:
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+```css
+a { border: 1px solid; }
+```
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+```css
+a { margin: 1px; }
+```
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+```css
+a { margin-inline: 1px; }
+```
