Description
### 👓 What did you see?
According to the docs:
> You can only have one set of Background steps per Feature or Rule
https://cucumber.io/docs/gherkin/reference/#background
It's not clear to me whether:
a) Both feature and rule can have a background
b) Either feature or rule can have a background, but not both.
I think it's (a), but that sentence needs clarification.
### ✅ What did you expect to see?
Maybe something like this?
> A Feature can have only one set of Background steps. The same goes for a Rule. Both a Rule and its Feature may have a Background at the same time.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked Gherkin Background documentation and review the sentence about one set of Background steps per Feature or Rule. Clarify whether both a Feature and its Rule may define Background steps, then update the wording so the allowed combinations are unambiguous.
