+
+## Rule Options
+
+There is one way to configure this rule.
+
+The configuration is a string shortcut corresponding to the `location` values specified below. If omitted, it defaults to `"tag-aligned"`.
+
+```js
+"react/jsx-closing-tag-location": <enabled> // -> [<enabled>, "tag-aligned"]
+"react/jsx-closing-tag-location": [<enabled>, "<location>"]
+```
+
+### `location`
+
+Enforced location for the closing tag.
+
+- `tag-aligned`: must be aligned with the opening tag.
+- `line-aligned`: must be aligned with the line containing the opening tag.
+
+Defaults to `tag-aligned`.
+
+For backward compatibility, you may pass an object `{ "location": <location> }` that is equivalent to the first string shortcut form.
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```jsx
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': 1
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, 'tag-aligned']
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, {"location":'tag-aligned'}]
+<Say
+  firstName="John"
+  lastName="Smith">
+  Hello
+  </Say>;
+
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, 'tag-aligned']
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, {"location":'tag-aligned'}]
+const App = <Bar>
+  Foo
+</Bar>;
+
+
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, 'line-aligned']
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, {"location":'line-aligned'}]
+const App = <Bar>
+  Foo
+            </Bar>;
+
+
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```jsx
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': 1
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, 'tag-aligned']
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, {"location":'tag-aligned'}]
+<Say

+
+// 'jsx-closing-tag-location': [1, 'tag-aligned']

 ## When Not To Use It
 
-If you do not care about closing tag JSX alignment then you can disable this rule.
