It’s not prescriptive - there are lots of open styles used by the likes of Microsoft, Datadog, Spotify, Grafana, which you can use. Customize the configuration to define your own rules. Works on formats like Markdown, HTML, AsciiDoc, code comments. Various editor plugins e.g. VS Code, Obsidian, Vim. ### Tradeoffs It’s designed for text files - great if that’s where you’re writing, such as for technical documentation, but there’s no support for other common editors like Google Docs or Word.
