+# selector-nested-pattern
+
+Specify a pattern for the selectors of rules nested within rules.
+
+```css
+ a {
+ color: orange;
+ &:hover { color: pink; }
+ } ↑
+/** ↑
+ * These nested selectors */
+```
+
+Non-standard selectors (e.g. selectors with Sass or Less interpolation) and selectors of rules nested within at-rules are ignored.
+
+## Options
+
+`regex|string`
+
+A string will be translated into a RegExp — `new RegExp(yourString)` — so *be sure to escape properly*.
+
+The selector value will be checked in its entirety. If you'd like to allow for combinators and commas, you must incorporate them into your pattern.
+
+Given the string:
+
+```js
+"^&:(?:hover|focus)$"
+```
+
+The following patterns are considered violations:
+
+```css
+a {
+ .bar {}
+}
+```
+
+```css
+a {
+ .bar:hover {}
+}
+```
+
+```css
+a {
+ &:hover,
+ &:focus {}
+}
+```
+
+The following patterns are *not* considered violations:
+
+```css
+a {
+ &:hover {}
+}
+```
+
+```css
+a {
+ &:focus {}
+}
+```
+
+```css
+a {
+ &:hover {}
+ &:focus {}
+}
+```
