Markdown Conventions
--------------------
[Qubes OS Project]]: https://github.com/QubesOS
[documentation guidelines]: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/doc-guidelines/
All the documentation is written in Markdown for maximum accessibility. When
making contributions, please observe the following style conventions:
* Use spaces instead of tabs.
* Hard wrap Markdown lines at 80 characters.
* Hard wrap Git commit message lines at 72 characters.
* This leaves exactly four spaces on each side of the commit message when
viewed in the default `git log` format.)
* If appropriate, make numerals in numbered lists match between Markdown
source and HTML output.
* In the event that a user is required to read the Markdown source
directly, this will make it easier to follow, e.g., numbered steps in a
set of instructions.
* Use hanging indentations
where appropriate.
* Use underline headings (`=====` and `-----`) if possible. If this is not
possible, use Atx-style headings on both the left and right sides
(`### H3 ###`).
* Use `[reference-style][ref]` links.
