# Rust reference style guide | ||
|
||
Some conventions and content guidelines are specified in the [introduction]. | ||
This document serves as a guide for editors and reviewers. | ||
See the [Authoring Guide] for details on the style used in the reference. | ||
|
||
There is a [`style-check`](style-check/) tool which is run in CI to check some of these. To use it locally, run `cargo run --manifest-path=style-check/Cargo.toml src`. | ||
|
||
## Markdown formatting | ||
|
||
* Use ATX-style heading with sentence case. | ||
* Use one line per sentence to make diffs nicer. | ||
Do not wrap long lines. | ||
* Use reference links, with shortcuts if appropriate. | ||
Place the sorted link reference definitions at the bottom of the file, or at the bottom of a section if there is an unusually large number of links that are specific to the section. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
Example of shortcut link: [enumerations] | ||
Example of reference link with label: [block expression][block] | ||
[block]: expressions/block-expr.md | ||
[enumerations]: types/enum.md | ||
``` | ||
* Links should be relative with the `.md` extension. | ||
Links to other rust-lang books that are published with the reference or the standard library API should also be relative so that the linkchecker can validate them. | ||
* See the [Conventions] section for formatting callouts such as notes, edition differences, and warnings. | ||
* Formatting to avoid: | ||
* Avoid trailing spaces. | ||
* Avoid double blank lines. | ||
### Code examples | ||
Code examples should use code blocks with triple backticks. | ||
The language should always be specified (such as `rust`). | ||
```rust | ||
println!("Hello!"); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
See https://highlightjs.org/ for a list of supported languages. | ||
|
||
Rust examples are tested via rustdoc, and should include the appropriate annotations when tests are expected to fail: | ||
|
||
* `edition2015` or `edition2018` — If it is edition-specific (see `book.toml` for the default). | ||
* `no_run` — The example should compile successfully, but should not be executed. | ||
* `should_panic` — The example should compile and run, but produce a panic. | ||
* `compile_fail` — The example is expected to fail to compile. | ||
* `ignore` — The example shouldn't be built or tested. | ||
This should be avoided if possible. | ||
Usually this is only necessary when the testing framework does not support it (such as external crates or modules, or a proc-macro), or it contains pseudo-code which is not valid Rust. | ||
An HTML comment such as `<!-- ignore: requires extern crate -->` should be placed before the example to explain why it is ignored. | ||
|
||
See the [rustdoc documentation] for more detail. | ||
|
||
## Language and grammar | ||
|
||
* Use American English spelling. | ||
* Use Oxford commas. | ||
* Idioms and styling to avoid: | ||
* Avoid slashes for alternatives ("program/binary"), use conjunctions or rewrite it ("program or binary"). | ||
* Avoid qualifying something as "in Rust", the entire reference is about Rust. | ||
|
||
## Content | ||
|
||
* Whenever there is a difference between editions, the differences should be called out with an "Edition Differences" block. | ||
The main text should stick to what is common between the editions. | ||
However, for large differences (such as "async"), the main text may contain edition-specific content as long as it is made clear which editions it applies to. | ||
