Coding Style

wfview does not have a specific coding style. When contributing, try and make your changes easy to read. Add comments where needed. Try and stick with the sort of style you see within the source code. If you recognize our current style as something you’ve seen before, please let us know and we’ll change this paragraph to indicate it.
