* `only` and `except` are inclusive. If both `only` and `except` are defined
in a job specification, the ref is filtered by `only` and `except`.
* `only` and `except` allow the use of regular expressions.
-* `only` and `except` allow the use of special keywords:
-`api`, `branches`, `external`, `tags`, `pushes`, `schedules`, `triggers`, and `web`
* `only` and `except` allow to specify a repository path to filter jobs for
forks.
+In addition, `only` and `except` allow the use of special keywords:

+| --------- | ---------------- |
+| `branches` | When a branch is pushed. |
+| `tags` | When a tag is pushed. |
+| `api` | When pipeline has been triggered by a second pipelines API (not triggers API). |
+| `external` | When using CI services other than GitLab. |
+| `pipelines` | For multi-project triggers, created using the API with `CI_JOB_TOKEN`. |
+| `pushes` | Pipeline is triggered by a `git push` by the user. |
+| `schedules` | For [scheduled pipelines][schedules]. |
+| `triggers` | For pipelines created using a trigger token. |
+| `web` | For pipelines created using **Run pipeline** button in GitLab UI (under your project's **Pipelines**). |
