+# stylish-haskell configuration file
+# ==================================
+
+# The stylish-haskell tool is mainly configured by specifying steps. These steps
+# are a list, so they have an order, and one specific step may appear more than
+# once (if needed). Each file is processed by these steps in the given order.
+steps:
+  # Convert some ASCII sequences to their Unicode equivalents. This is disabled
+  # by default.
+  # - unicode_syntax:
+  #     # In order to make this work, we also need to insert the UnicodeSyntax
+  #     # language pragma. If this flag is set to true, we insert it when it's
+  #     # not already present. You may want to disable it if you configure
+  #     # language extensions using some other method than pragmas. Default:
+  #     # true.
+  #     add_language_pragma: true
+
+  # Align the right hand side of some elements.  This is quite conservative
+  # and only applies to statements where each element occupies a single
+  # line. All default to true.
+  - simple_align:
+      cases: false
+      top_level_patterns: false
+      records: false
+
+  # Import cleanup
+  - imports:
+      # There are different ways we can align names and lists.
+      #
+      # - global: Align the import names and import list throughout the entire
+      #   file.
+      #
+      # - file: Like global, but don't add padding when there are no qualified
+      #   imports in the file.
+      #
+      # - group: Only align the imports per group (a group is formed by adjacent
+      #   import lines).
+      #
+      # - none: Do not perform any alignment.
+      #
+      # Default: global.

+      # The following options affect only import list alignment.

+      # List align has following options:

+      # Default: vertical.

+
+  # Squash multiple spaces between the left and right hand sides of some

+## Code formatting
+
+We use [`editorconfig`](https://editorconfig.org/) to ensure consistency in the format of our
+Haskell code. There are editorconfig plugins for several text editors, so make sure that your editor
+honors the configuration in [`.editorconfig`](.editorconfig).
+
+Additionally, we use [`stylish-haskell`](https://github.com/jaspervdj/stylish-haskell/) to format
+grouped imports and language pragmas. There is a [`.stylish-haskell.yaml`](.stylish-haskell.yaml)
+configuration file that determines how `stylish-haskell` formats the code. Make sure that you have a
+recent version of `stylish-haskell` installed and that your editor enforces the rules defined by the
+`.stylish-haskell.yaml` configuration file.
+
+The `stylish-haskell` configuration prioritizes "diff-safety": it should introduce only minimal
+changes, to avoid polluting our diffs with irrelevant information.
+
+
+For Emacs, we provide [directory
+variables](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Directory-Variables.html) to
+set the `stylish-haskell` options for this project, so that `stylish-haskell` does not need to be
+enabled globally (see [`.dir-locals.el`](.dir-locals.el)).
