<p>This document defines formatting and style rules for HTML and CSS. It aims at

improving collaboration, code quality, and enabling supporting infrastructure.

It applies to raw, working files that use HTML and CSS, including GSS files.

<h4 id="Encoding">2.3.1 Encoding</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use UTF-8 (no BOM).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Make sure your editor uses UTF-8 as character encoding, without a byte order
|
||||
mark.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Specify the encoding in HTML templates and documents via <code><meta
|
||||
charset="utf-8"></code>. Do not specify the encoding of style sheets as these assume
|
||||
UTF-8.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(More on encodings and when and how to specify them can be found in <a href="https://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/">Handling

<h4 id="Comments">2.3.2 Comments</h4>
|

|

<p>Explain code as needed, where possible.</p>
|

|

<p>Use comments to explain code: What does it cover, what purpose does it serve,
|
||||
why is respective solution used or preferred?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(This item is optional as it is not deemed a realistic expectation to always

demand fully documented code. Mileage may vary heavily for HTML and CSS code and

depends on the project’s complexity.)</p>

<h4 id="Action_Items">2.3.3 Action Items</h4>
|

<p>Mark todos and action items with <code>TODO</code>.</p>

<p>Highlight todos by using the keyword <code>TODO</code> only, not other common formats like
|

<code>@@</code>.</p>
|

|

<p>Append a contact (username or mailing list) in parentheses as with the format

<h4 id="Document_Type">3.1.1 Document Type</h4>
|

|

<p>Use HTML5.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>HTML5 (HTML syntax) is preferred for all HTML documents: <code><!DOCTYPE html></code>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(It’s recommended to use HTML, as <code>text/html</code>. Do not use XHTML. XHTML, as
|
||||
<a href="https://hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml"><code>application/xhtml+xml</code></a>, lacks both browser
|
||||
and infrastructure support and offers less room for optimization than HTML.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Although fine with HTML, do not close void elements, i.e. write <code><br></code>, not
|
||||
<code><br /></code>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4 id="HTML_Validity">3.1.2 HTML Validity</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use valid HTML where possible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use valid HTML code unless that is not possible due to otherwise unattainable
|
||||
performance goals regarding file size.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Use tools such as the <a href="https://validator.w3.org/nu/">W3C HTML validator</a>
|
||||
to test.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Using valid HTML is a measurable baseline quality attribute that contributes to
|
||||
learning about technical requirements and constraints, and that ensures proper
|
||||
HTML usage.</p>

<h4 id="Semantics">3.1.3 Semantics</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use HTML according to its purpose.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use elements (sometimes incorrectly called “tags”) for what they have been
|
||||
created for. For example, use heading elements for headings, <code>p</code> elements for
|
||||
paragraphs, <code>a</code> elements for anchors, etc.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Using HTML according to its purpose is important for accessibility, reuse, and
|
||||
code efficiency reasons.</p>

<h4 id="Multimedia_Fallback">3.1.4 Multimedia Fallback</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Provide alternative contents for multimedia.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For multimedia, such as images, videos, animated objects via <code>canvas</code>, make sure
|
||||
to offer alternative access. For images that means use of meaningful alternative
|
||||
text (<code>alt</code>) and for video and audio transcripts and captions, if available.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Providing alternative contents is important for accessibility reasons: A blind
|
||||
user has few cues to tell what an image is about without <code>@alt</code>, and other users
|
||||
may have no way of understanding what video or audio contents are about either.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(For images whose <code>alt</code> attributes would introduce redundancy, and for images
|
||||
whose purpose is purely decorative which you cannot immediately use CSS for, use
|
||||
no alternative text, as in <code>alt=""</code>.)</p>

<h4 id="Separation_of_Concerns">3.1.5 Separation of Concerns</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Separate structure from presentation from behavior.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Strictly keep structure (markup), presentation (styling), and behavior
|
||||
(scripting) apart, and try to keep the interaction between the three to an
|
||||
absolute minimum.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That is, make sure documents and templates contain only HTML and HTML that is
|
||||
solely serving structural purposes. Move everything presentational into style
|
||||
sheets, and everything behavioral into scripts.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In addition, keep the contact area as small as possible by linking as few style
|
||||
sheets and scripts as possible from documents and templates.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Separating structure from presentation from behavior is important for
|
||||
maintenance reasons. It is always more expensive to change HTML documents and
|
||||
templates than it is to update style sheets and scripts.</p>

<p>There is no need to use entity references like <code>&mdash;</code>, <code>&rdquo;</code>, or

<code>&#x263a;</code>, assuming the same encoding (UTF-8) is used for files and editors

as well as among teams.</p>
|

<p>The only exceptions apply to characters with special meaning in HTML (like <code><</code>

<h4 id="Optional_Tags">3.1.7 Optional Tags</h4>
|

|

<p>Omit optional tags (optional).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For file size optimization and scannability purposes, consider omitting optional
|
||||
tags. The <a href="https://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/syntax.html#syntax-tag-omission">HTML5 specification</a>
|
||||
defines what tags can be omitted.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(This approach may require a grace period to be established as a wider guideline
|
||||
as it’s significantly different from what web developers are typically taught.
|
||||
For consistency and simplicity reasons it’s best served omitting all optional
|
||||
tags, not just a selection.)</p>

|

<p>Specifying <code>type</code> attributes in these contexts is not necessary as HTML5 implies

<a href="https://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#attr-style-type"><code>text/css</code></a>

<h4 id="CSS_Validity">4.1.1 CSS Validity</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use valid CSS where possible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unless dealing with CSS validator bugs or requiring proprietary syntax, use
|
||||
valid CSS code.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Use tools such as the <a href="https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/">W3C CSS validator</a>
|
||||
to test.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|

<p>Using valid CSS is a measurable baseline quality attribute that allows to spot
|

CSS code that may not have any effect and can be removed, and that ensures
|

proper CSS usage.</p>

<h4 id="ID_and_Class_Naming">4.1.2 ID and Class Naming</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use meaningful or generic ID and class names.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Instead of presentational or cryptic names, always use ID and class names that
|
||||
reflect the purpose of the element in question, or that are otherwise generic.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Names that are specific and reflect the purpose of the element should be
|
||||
preferred as these are most understandable and the least likely to change.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Generic names are simply a fallback for elements that have no particular or no
|
||||
meaning different from their siblings. They are typically needed as “helpers.”</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Using functional or generic names reduces the probability of unnecessary
|
||||
document or template changes.</p>

<p>Try to convey what an ID or class is about while being as brief as possible.</p>

<p>CSS offers a variety of <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#shorthand">shorthand</a>

<p>Avoid user agent detection as well as CSS “hacks”—try a different approach

first.</p>
|

|

<p>It’s tempting to address styling differences over user agent detection or
|
||||
special CSS filters, workarounds, and hacks. Both approaches should be
|
||||
considered last resort in order to achieve and maintain an efficient and
|
||||
manageable code base. Put another way, giving detection and hacks a free pass
|
||||
will hurt projects in the long run as projects tend to take the way of least
|
||||
resistance. That is, allowing and making it easy to use detection and hacks
|
||||
means using detection and hacks more frequently—and more frequently is too
|
||||
frequently.</p>

<h2>Parting Words</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><u>Be consistent.</u></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you’re editing code, take a few minutes to look at the code around you and
|
||||
determine its style. If they use spaces around all their arithmetic operators,
|
||||
you should too. If their comments have little boxes of hash marks around them,
|
||||
make your comments have little boxes of hash marks around them too.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The point of having style guidelines is to have a common vocabulary of coding so
|
||||
people can concentrate on what you’re saying rather than on how you’re saying
|
||||
it. We present global style rules here so people know the vocabulary, but local
|
||||
style is also important. If code you add to a file looks drastically different
|
||||
from the existing code around it, it throws readers out of their rhythm when
|
||||
they go to read it. Avoid this.</p>
