This repository hosts the Encoding Standard.

Code of conduct

We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all. Please read and respect the WHATWG Code of Conduct.

Contribution opportunities

We'd love your help fixing the minor and larger issues with the Encoding Standard. Pull requests for typographical and grammar errors are also most welcome.

We'd be happy to mentor you through this process. If you're interested and need help getting started, leave a comment on the issue or ask around on IRC.

Pull requests

See the html repository's README for the general guidelines. Note that source is Overview.src.html and "Acknowledgements" is "Acknowledgments" here (I know). Also, the Encoding Standard uses Anolis to generate Overview.html. (Do not worry if using that tool is too complicated, your pull request does not need to contain the generated HTML.)

Merge policy

If you can commit to this repository, see the html repository's TEAM for guidelines.

Tests

Tests can be found in the encoding/ directory of the web-platform-tests repository.
