# HTML and CSS Standards

Audacia's HTML and CSS standards are based on [Google's Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html), with the following deviations:

- Removed [indentation rule](https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html#Indentation) as consistency within a codebase is more important than following a specific rule
- Removed [action items](https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html#Action_Items) as `TODO`s should be discouraged
- Elements in all code examples closed (see [here](https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html#General_Formatting) for an example of non-closed elements)
- Removed [optional tags](https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html#Optional_Tags)
