permissible_values:
  butt:
    text: butt
    description: "The line ends exactly at its endpoint, producing a flat, squared-off\
      \ edge perpendicular to the path. \nThere is no extension beyond the endpoint."
  round:
    text: round
    description: "The line ends with a semi-circular extension beyond its endpoint,\
      \ creating a rounded cap with a radius equal to \nhalf the line's thickness.\
      \ This softens sharp edges and creates smooth joins."
  square:
    text: square
    description: "The line ends with a square extension beyond its endpoint. It is\
      \ similar to butt but extends the line slightly \npast the endpoint, by half\
      \ the line's thickness, resulting in a squared-off cap that projects outward."
