This repository hosts the Fetch Standard.

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

Folks notice minor and larger issues with the Fetch Standard all the time and we'd love your help fixing those. 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.

In short, change fetch.bs and submit your patch, with a good commit message. Consider reading through the WHATWG FAQ if you are new here.

Please add your name to the Acknowledgments section in your first pull request, even for trivial fixes. The names are sorted lexicographically.

For quick local iteration, run make. To verify your changes locally, run make deploy. See more in the WHATWG Contributor Guidelines.

Use a column width of 100 characters.

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

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

is okay and

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

is not.

Using newlines between "inline" element tag names and their content is also forbidden. (This actually 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 <span title=concept-response-url-list>url list</span> to a copy of
 <var>request</var>'s <span title=concept-request-url-list>url list</span>.

is not indented, but

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

  <ol>

is.

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