+## :book: Rule Details
+
+This rule enforces a maximum depth of the template in a Vue SFC, in order to aid in maintainability and reduce complexity.
+
+## :wrench: Options
+
+This rule takes an object, where you can specify the maximum depth allowed in a Vue SFC template block.
+There is one property that can be specified for the object.
+
+- `maxDepth` ... Specify the maximum template depth `template` block.
+
+## `{ maxDepth: 3 }`
