Code examples are preferred over exposition in all cases. - -* We welcome newcomers, but the target audience for this site is programmers with some experience. - So, try to avoid explaining basic concepts except for those specific to the language in question, - to keep articles succinct and scannable. We all know how to use Google here. - -* For translations (or English articles with non-ASCII characters), please make sure your file is - UTF-8 encoded, and try to leave out the byte-order-mark at the start of the file.

Middleman, or at least -the custom scripts underpinning the site, required that some key information be defined in the header. - -The following fields are necessary for English articles about programming languages: - -* **language** The *programming language* in question -* **contributors** A list of [author, URL] lists to credit - -Other fields: - -* **filename**: The filename for this article's code. It will be fetched, mashed together, and made downloadable. - For non-English articles, *filename* should have a language-specific suffix. -* **lang**: For translations, the human language this article is in. For categorization, mostly. - -Here's an example header for an Esperanto translation of Ruby: - -```yaml ---- -language: ruby -filename: learnruby-epo.ruby -contributors: - - ["Doktor Esperanto", "http://example.com/"] - - ["Someone else", "http://someoneelseswebsite.com/"] -lang: ep-ep ---- -``` +For a detailed style guide, please review the full [CONTRIBUTING][2] guidelines. ## License Contributors retain copyright to their work, and can request removal at any time.
