selector-combinator-space-after
This rule is deprecated and will be removed in the future. See the migration guide.
Require a single space or disallow whitespace after the combinators of selectors.
a > b + c ~ d e >>> f { color: pink; }
/** ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
* These are combinators */
Combinators are used to combine several different selectors into new and more specific ones. There are several types of combinators, including: child (>), adjacent sibling (+), general sibling (~), and descendant (which is represented by a blank space between two selectors).
The descendant combinator is not checked by this rule.
Also, + and - signs within :nth-*() arguments are not checked (e.g. a:nth-child(2n+1)).
The fix option can automatically fix all of the problems reported by this rule.
