<h2>Formatting and style<a class="headerlink" href="#formatting-and-style" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>While editing the Guide, please respect the existing formatting rules.
Notably:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>wrap lines at 72 characters</p></li>
<li><p>two spaces between sentences (after full stop), one space otherwise</p></li>
<li><p>one empty line between titles and paragraphs, two empty lines between
text and next section</p></li>
<li><p>indent using spaces, aligning to previous line</p></li>
</ul>
<p>When adding a new rule, use the chapter with a fitting topic.  Some
rules match multiple chapters, choose the one that fits it best.  Make
sure to match existing keywords in index.</p>

<section id="building">
<h2>Building<a class="headerlink" href="#building" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>A tox-file is provided to build the Guide in a virtualenv, installing
all necessary dependencies.  To build the HTML version, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">tox</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Another format (as well as other make arguments) can be specified
as a command-line argument, e.g.:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">tox</span> <span class="n">latexpdf</span>
</pre></div>
</div>

<section id="merging-pull-requests">
<h2>Merging pull requests<a class="headerlink" href="#merging-pull-requests" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The recommended way to merge pull requests is to use
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">app-portage/pram</span></code>.  To configure the remote before the first use,
run the following command in your checkout:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">git</span> <span class="n">config</span> <span class="o">--</span><span class="n">replace</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="nb">all</span> <span class="n">pram</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">repo</span> <span class="n">gentoo</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">policy</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">guide</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Afterwards, call the tool to merge pull request by number:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">pram</span> <span class="n">N</span>
</pre></div>
