+
+ This document describes the coding conventions for the Foundry theming engine.
+
+
+
+ Naming
+
+
+ The naming rules described here apply to all names: Names of layout elements,
+ XSL template names, EXSLT functions, files, ids and classes (in the
+ class attribute).
+
+
+
+
+ Use the dash "-" to separate parts of a name instead of camel case or the
+ underscore. For example: get-setting instead of getSetting or
+ set_setting.
+
+
+
+
+ Names should be lowercase.
+
+
+
+
+ Namespace declarations
+
+
+ In the XSL files, XML namespaces are only defined at the
+ <xsl:stylesheet> element. The XSL namespace is the first one is
+ declared first. The other namespace follow in alphabetic order (ordered by their
+ prefix).
+
+
+
+
+ Indention, line length and formating
+
+
+ Indention is done using spaces. Indention depth is four (4) spaces per level.
+
+
+
+
+ Try to keep the line length below 100 characters per line. Because of some restrictions
+ of XML this will be possible in every case.
+
+
+
+
+ Insert a line break after each attribute of an XML element. The first attribute
+ is on the same line as the element. For example write
+
+
+
+<xsl:param name=example-param"
+ select="'example'"/>
+
+
+ instead of
+
+
+
+<xsl:param name=example-param" select="'example'"/>
+
+
