Style guide to contributors

  • the spec uses ReSpec
  • the spec is tidied using HTML5 Tidy. For instructions on running HTML5 tidy, see below.
  • put comments in front of sections, for better readability with syntax coloring editors

Running HTML5 Tidy

Please make sure you have HTML5 tidy installed, instead of the the one that ships with *nix systems. You can comfirm this by running:

tidy --version  #HTML Tidy for HTML5 (experimental) for ...

Once you have confirmed (make sure you have committed your changes before running tidy, as the changes are destructive ... in a good way:)):

tidy -config tidyconf.txt -o index.html index.html
