Contributing

Everyone is welcome to contribute to this specification.

Any simple editorial contribution can simply be done with a GitHub Pull Request. You can even do an inline edit of the file on GitHub.

For more substantial contributions, please first start a thread in the webapps mailing list at the W3C.

Note: Contributions to this repository are intended to become part of Recommendation-track documents governed by the W3C Patent Policy and Software and Document License. To make substantive contributions to specifications, you must either participate in the relevant W3C Working Group or make a non-member patent licensing commitment.

If you are not the sole contributor to a contribution (pull request), please identify all contributors in the pull request comment.

To add a contributor (other than yourself, that's automatic), mark them one per line as follows:

+@github_username

If you added a contributor by mistake, you can remove them in a comment with:

-@github_username

If you are making a pull request on behalf of someone else but you had no part in designing the feature, you can remove yourself with the above syntax.

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 confirm 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 tidyconfig.txt -o index.html index.html
