This document is an extension of the [crêpe engine contribution guidelines][crepe-engine-contrib]. Rules in this document override those in the other document. # Versioning - TODO: discuss w/ group # Code style - Indent using tabs - Wrap long lines at column 80 - Diacritical marks should be represented in ASCII using LaTeX syntax instead of using UTF-8 (i.e. `fa\c{c}ade` instead of `façade`) - Images should be placed in the img/ folder - Labels and bibliography keys should only consist of characters from the following set: `[a-z0-9:-]` (lower-case, numbers, colon, dash). - Quotes are opened with a backtick (`) - Only environments indent the LaTeX source code # Banned practices - **Using `\newpage`** Widows and orphans are handled by LaTeX. If you want to prevent a page break from occurring between two paragraphs, use the `\noparbreak` command at the end of the first paragraph. For larger chunks, the `\needspace{}` command should be used instead. - **Using `\href`** Add the source in sources.bib and cite this source instead. - **Using `\textbf` or `\textit` to emphasize** Use `\emph`, single quotes or an em dash (`---`) instead. # References References are used in the LaTeX source code, and should be recognizable without having to compile the document first. Reference names should be short and descriptive, so avoid referring to generated numbers (i.e. `sec:release-cycle` instead of `sec:1.2.3`) or arbitrary info such as publish year (i.e. `book:struct-comp-org` instead of `TanenbaumAustin12`). ## Labels Please use prefixes to 'namespace' `\label`s: |type|prefix| |-|-| |Figures|`fig:`| |Tables|`tab:`| |Sections|`sec:`| |List items (i.e. `enumerate`/`itemize`)|`item:`| ## Sources Bibliography entries work with a similar label system (usually called *keys*). Since these exist in a registry separate from `\label` entries, these do not need to be prefixed. For consistency, the following format is preferred: `authority:topic`. The `authority` part refers to a company, website or author, and `topic` refers to a title, chip model number, etc. depending on the type of document being referenced.
