55.1 Coding Standards

Contributed code should follow the GNU Coding Standards. This manual is available online at https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/. It may also be available locally in Info on your system, see see GNU Coding Standards .

If it doesn’t, we’ll need to find someone to fix the code before we can use it.

Emacs has additional style and coding conventions:

• the “Tips and Conventions” Appendix in the Emacs Lisp Reference https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Tips.html.
• Avoid using advice-add or with-eval-after-load for Lisp code to be included in Emacs.
• Remove all trailing whitespace in all source and text files.
• Use ?\s instead of ? in Lisp code for a space character.
