Coding standards

HTML

Two spaces for indentation, never tabs
Double quotes only, never single quotes
Always use proper indentation
Use tags and elements appropriate for an HTML5 doctype (e.g., self-closing tags)

CSS

Adhere to the Recess CSS property order
Multiple-line approach (one property and value per line)
Always a space after a property's colon (.e.g, display: block; and not display:block;)
End all lines with a semi-colon
For multiple, comma-separated selectors, place each selector on it's own line
Attribute selectors, like input[type="text"] should always wrap the attribute's value in double quotes, for consistency and safety (see this blog post on unquoted attribute values that can lead to XSS attacks).

JS

Always semicolons/
Comma first syntax when > 3 array elements. See below about preferring legibility.
2 spaces (no tabs)
Legible code above all
- Use spaces between operators where it improves legibility.
- Use linebreaks where code is separated into logical components.
Be respectful of other devs' sanity:
- Use comments to describe non-intuitive code.
- If you leave a log event behind, make it meaningful. No "wat lol" log events.
