HTML coding standards

Syntax & Style

Spacing: Keep vertical spacing compact (no excessive blank lines). Readability: Prioritize readable code over "clever" one-liners.

CSS

In-line css: Prefer use of classes from .css files to in-line css, unless explicitely justified.

JS

In-line js: Prefer including from functions in .js files to in-line js, unless explicitly justified.

Comments

Preserve comments: Do NOT delete existing, still relevant comments.

Logic & Operations

File Collisions: If a file exists, append _[timestamp] to the new filename. Simplicity: Choose the simplest working solution.
