Guidelines for Documentation Contributors
=========================================
* 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 `[reference-style][ref]` links.
