+### `check-lines-alignment`
+
+Reports invalid alignment of JSDoc block lines. This is a
+[standard recommended to WordPress code](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/inline-documentation-standards/javascript/#aligning-comments), for example.
+
+#### Options
+
+This rule allows one optional string argument. If it is `"always"` then a
+problem is raised when the lines are not aligned. If it is `"never"` then
+a problem should be raised when there is more than one space between the
+lines parts. Only the non-default `"always"` is implemented for now.
+
+|||
+|---|---|
+|Context|everywhere|
+|Options|(a string matching `"always"|"never"`)|
+|Tags|`param`, `arg`, `argument`, `property`, `prop`|
+
+The following patterns are considered problems:
+
+````js
+/**
+ * Function description.
+ *
+ * @param {string} lorem Description.
+ * @param {int} sit Description multi words.
+ */
+const fn = ( lorem, sit ) => {}
+// Options: ["always"]
+// Message: Expected JSDoc block lines to be aligned.

+/**
+ * My object.
+ *
+ * @typedef {Object} MyObject
+ *
+ * @property {string} lorem Description.
+ * @property {int} sit Description multi words.
