 # Coding Guidelines
 
-+ You can validate that your code complies with these guidelines by running `stuff/php-format.py validate`.
-+ Tabs, no spaces.
-+ End of line should should be Unix style (`\n`), not Windows style (`\r\n`).
-+ Opening brackets goes in the same line as the last statement.
-
-        if (condition) {
-            stuff;
-        }
-
-+ A space between keywords and parenthesis for: `if`, `else`, `while`, `switch`, `catch`, `function`.
-+ Function calls have no space before the parentheses.
-+ No spaces are left inside the parentheses.
-+ A space after each comma, but without space before.
-+ All binary operators must have one space before and one after.
-+ There should not be more than one contiguous blank line.
-+ There should be no empty comments.
-+ You should not use block comments `/ * ... * /`, only line `// ...`.
-+ Changes in functionality must be accompanied by their respective new / modified tests.
-+ Exceptions must be used to report erroneous states. The use of functions that return true / false is allowed when they are expected values.
-+ Use [RAII] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Acquisition_Is_Initialization) when appropriate, mainly in the administration of resources (files, etc ...)
