# RedMew style guide
Not strictly enforced, but we appreciate if you try to remain consistent with our standards.
* Include at least a brief one-line summary in a LuaDoc (a comment with 3 dashes `---`) before each public-facing function
* A LuaDoc with extended summary, `@params`, and `@return` is encouraged. ([LuaDoc Manual][1])
* Tabs are 4 spaces
* Keep each line of code to a readable length. Under 140 characters when reasonable.
* Never leave trailing whitespace.
* End each file with a newline.
* Newlines are unix `\n`
* Strings should normally be encased in `'` single-quotes. For strings with single quotes inside them, `"` double-quotes can be used.
* Use spaces around operators, after commas, colons, and semicolons.
```lua
sum = 1 + 2
a, b = 1, 2
if 1 < 2 then
game.print("Hi")
end
```
* No spaces after `(`, `[`, `{` or before `]`, `)`, `}`.
```lua
table = {1, 2, 3}
table[1]
```
* Use empty lines between `functions` and to break up functions into logical paragraphs.
```lua
local function some_function()
local data = global.data
local format = global.string_format
local string = Utils.manipulate(data, format)
game.print(string)
end
local function say_hello()
game.print("Hello")
end
```
* When creating a table over multiple lines, include a trailing comma after the last item.
```lua
myTable ={
'item1',
'item2',
'item3',
}
```
