Use a column width of 100 characters.

Do not use newlines inside "inline" elements, even if that means exceeding the column widthrequirement.

<li><p>Execute<ahref=https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-csp/#set-response-csp-list>set<var>response</var>'s CSP list</a> on<var>response</var>.<spandata-anolis-ref>CSP</span>

is okay and

<li><p>Execute<ahref=https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-csp/#set-response-csp-list>set<var>response</var>'s CSPlist</a> on<var>response</var>.<spandata-anolis-ref>CSP</span>

is not.

Using newlines between "inline" element tag names and their content is also forbidden. (Thisactually alters the content, by adding spaces.) That is

<a>token</a>

is fine and

<a>token</a>

is not.

An<li> element always has a<p> element inside it, unless it's a child of<ul class=brief>.

If a "block" element contains a single "block" element, do not put it on a newline.

Do not indent for anything except a new "block" element. For instance

<li><p>Set<var>response</var>'s<spantitle=concept-response-url-list>url list</span> to a copy of<var>request</var>'s<spantitle=concept-request-url-list>url list</span>.

is not indented, but

<li><p>Run these substeps<spandata-anolis-spec=html>in parallel</span>:<ol>

is.

End tags must be omitted when possible and attribute values must not be quoted (if necessary, usedouble quotes).

Place one newline between paragraphs (including list elements). Place three newlines before<h2>,and two newlines before other headings. This does not apply when a nested heading follows the parentheading.

<ul><li><p>Do not place a newline above.<li><p>Place a newline above.</ul><p>Place a newline above.<h3>Place two newlines above.</h3><h4>Placing one newline is OK here.</h4><h4>Place two newlines above.</h4>

Use camel case for variable names and sentence case use spaced names for definitions, algorithms,etc.

<p>A<afor=/>request</a> has an associated<dfnexportfor=requestid=concept-request-redirect-mode>redirect mode</dfn>,...

<p>Let<var>redirectMode</var> be<var>request</var>'s<afor=request>redirect mode</a>.
