Libera Chat's website

Style guide

Content

• Use British English
• Channel names, nicknames, channel modes, user modes, IRC verbs, and IRC commands should be escaped (as code), for example: /join #libera
• Filenames will be the URL slug; use lowercase alphanumeric characters and no underscores
• In examples, mark required arguments with <>, and optional arguments with []
• Lines should be no longer than 78 characters, so that people in 80-column terminals can edit the text without their editor "paging over" horizontally when their cursor reaches the end of the line

Code

• Use 2 spaces of indentation in code
• Be mindful about making the site accessible to all users, including those with screen readers or text-only web browsers
• For CSS
  • Prefer logical properties (for example, margin-inline-start rather than margin-left)
  • In general, lengths should be defined in rem units
  • CSS that is absolutely necessary to generate the layout should go in the appropriate inlined CSS; other CSS should be loaded separately
• For JS
  • You probably don't need JavaScript
  • Format JS with standard.js
• For HTML
  • Prefer elements with semantic meaning (for example, <main>, <article>)
