+
+## 1. Guidelines
+
+Have fun, and work on whatever floats your boat. Take It Easy :tm:.
+
+Don't forget to **write documentation** for whatever it is you are doing.
+See the ["Writing Documentation"](#writing-documentation) section.
+
+Remember to write Vader tests for most of the code you write. You can look at
+existing Vader tests in the `test` directory for examples.
+
+When writing code, follow the [Google Vimscript Style
+Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/vimscriptguide.xml), and run `vint
+-s` on your files to check for most of what the guide mentions and more. If you
+install this plugin (ALE) and install [Vint](https://github.com/Kuniwak/vint), it
+will check your code while you type.
+
+<a name="issues"></a>
+
+## 2. Creating Issues
+
+Before creating any issues, please look through the current list of issues and
+pull requests, and ensure that the issue hasn't already been reported. If an
+issue has already been reported, but you have some new insight, please add
+a comment to the existing issue.
+
+Please read the FAQ in the README before creating any issues. A feature
+you desire may already exist and be documented, or the FAQ might explain
+how to solve a problem you have already.
+
+Please try and describe any issues reported with as much detail as you can
+provide about your Vim version, the linter you were trying to run, your
+operating system, or any other information you think might be helpful.
+
+Please describe your issue in clear, grammatically correct, and easy to
+understand English. You are more likely to see an issue resolved if others
+can understand you.
+
+<a name="pull-requests"></a>
+
+## 3. Creating Pull Requests
+
+For code you write, make sure to credit yourself at the top of files you add,
+and probably those you modify. You can write some comments at the top of your
+VIM files.
+
+```vim
+" Author: John Smith <john.smith@gmail.com>
+" Description: This file adds support for awesomelinter for the best language ever.
+```
+
+If you want to credit multiple authors, you can comma separate them.
+
+```vim
+" Author: John Smith <john.smith@gmail.com>, Jane Doe <https://jane-doe.info>
+```
+
+<a name="adding-a-new-linter"></a>
+
+### 3.i. Adding a New Linter
+
+If you add a new linter, look for existing handlers first in the
+[handlers.vim](autoload/ale/handlers.vim) file. One of the handlers there may
+already be able to handle your lines of output. If you find that your new
+linter replicates an existing error handler, consider pulling it up into the
+[handlers.vim](autoload/ale/handlers.vim) file, and use the generic handler in
+both places.
+
+When you add a linter, make sure the language for the linter and the linter
+itself are present in the table in the [README.md](README.md) file and in the
+Vim [help file](doc/ale.txt). The programs and linters should be sorted
+alphabetically in the table and list.
+
+<a name="adding-new-options"></a>
+
+### 3.ii. Adding New Options
+
+If you add new options to the plugin, make sure to document those new options
+in the [README.md](README.md) file, and also in the [help file](doc/ale.txt).
+Follow the format of other options in each. Global options should appear in the
+README file, and in the relevant section in the help file. Options specific
+to a particular linter should appear in the section for that linter.
+
+Linter options for customizing general argument lists should be named
+`g:ale_<filetype>_<linter>_options`, so that all linters can have similar
+global variable names.
+
+Any options for linters should be set to some default value so it is always
+easy to see what the default is with `:echo g:ale...`.
+
+<a name="writing-documentation"></a>
+
+## 4. Writing Documentation
+
+If you are adding new linters, changing the API, adding new options, etc., you
+_must_ write some documentation describing it in the `doc/ale.txt` file.  New
+linters _must_ be added to the `README.md` file too, so other users can get a
+quick overview of the supported tools.
+
+<a name="documenting-new-linters"></a>
+
+### 4.i Documenting New Linters
+
+If you add a new linter to the project, edit the table in the `README.md` file,
+and edit the list of linters at the top of the `doc/ale.txt` file. The linters
+should be sorted vertically in lexicographic (alphabetical) order by the
+programming language name or filetype, and the tools for each language should
+be sorted in lexicographic order horizontally. Sorting in this manner is a fair
+manner of presenting all of the information in an easy to scan way, without
+giving some unfair preference to any particular tool or language.
+
+<a name="editing-online-documentation"></a>
+
+### 4.ii Editing the Online Documentation
+
+The "online documentation" file used for this project lives in `doc/ale.txt`.
+This is the file used for generating `:help` text inside Vim itself. There are
+some guidlines to follow for this file.
+
+1. Keep all text within a column size of 79 characters, inclusive.
+2. Open a section with 79 `=` or `-` characters, for headings and subheadings.
+3. Sections should have a _single_ blank line before or after.
+4. Between descriptions of variables/functions/commands, use _two_ blank lines.
+5. Up-indent the description of a variable/function/command by two spaces.
+6. Place tags at the ends of lines, with the final characters on column 79.
+   All of the tags should line up perfectly on the same column as you scan
+   down through the document.
+7. Keep the table of contents balanced so the longest tag link ends on column
+   79, and so all links line up perfectly on their first character, on the
+   left.
+
+<a name="documenting-linter-options"></a>
+
+### 4.iii Documenting Linter Options
+
+For documenting new linter options, please add a new sub-section under the
+"Linter Specific Options" section describing all of the global options added
+for each linter, and what the default values of the options are. All global
+options for linters should be set to some default value. This will allow users
+to look up the default value easily by typing `:echo g:ale_...`.
+
+<a name="in-case-of-busses"></a>
+
+## 5. In Case of Busses
+
+Should the principal author of the ALE project and all collaborators with the
+required access needed to properly administrate the project on GitHub or any
+other website either perish or disappear, whether by tragic traffic accident
+or government adduction, etc., action should be taken to ensure that the
+project continues. If no one is left to administer the project where it is
+hosted, please fork the project and nominate someone capable to administer it.
+Preferably, in such an event, a single fork of the project will replace the
+original, and life will go on, except the life of whoever vanished, because
+then they will probably be dead.
+
+Should w0rp suddenly disappear, then he was probably killed in a traffic
+accident, or the government finally decided to kill him and make it look like
+suicide. In the latter event, please subvert said government and restore
+order to the universe, and ensure peace for mankind.

-ALE offers support for fixing code with command line tools in a non-blocking
-manner with the `:ALEFix` feature, supporting tools in many languages, like
-`prettier`, `eslint`, `autopep8`, and more.
-
-ALE acts as a "language client" to support a variety of Language Server Protocol
-features, including:
-
-* Diagnostics (via Language Server Protocol linters)
-* Go To Definition (`:ALEGoToDefinition`)
-* Completion (Built in completion support, or with Deoplete)
-* Finding references (`:ALEFindReferences`)
-* Hover information (`:ALEHover`)
-* Symbol search (`:ALESymbolSearch`)
-
-If you don't care about Language Server Protocol, ALE won't load any of the code
-for working with it unless needed. One of ALE's general missions is that you
-won't pay for the features that you don't use.

-ALE supports a wide variety of languages and tools. See the
-[full list](supported-tools.md) in the
-[Supported Languages and Tools](supported-tools.md) page.
+This plugin supports the following languages and tools. All available
+tools will be run in combination, so they can be complementary.
+
+<!--
+Keep the table rows sorted alphabetically by the language name,
+and the tools in the tools column sorted alphabetically by the tool

-### 2.ii Fixing
+ale-linter-options` for options specified to particular linters.
 
 ALE can fix files with the `ALEFix` command. Functions need to be configured
-either in each buffer with a `b:ale_fixers`, or globally with `g:ale_fixers`.
-
-The recommended way to configure fixers is to define a List in an ftplugin file.
-
-```vim
-" In ~/.vim/ftplugin/javascript.vim, or somewhere similar.
-
-" Fix files with prettier, and then ESLint.
-let b:ale_fixers = ['prettier', 'eslint']
-" Equivalent to the above.
-let b:ale_fixers = {'javascript': ['prettier', 'eslint']}
-```
-
-You can also configure your fixers from vimrc using `g:ale_fixers`, before or
-after ALE has been loaded.
-
-A `*` in place of the filetype will apply a List of fixers to all files which
-do not match some filetype in the Dictionary.
-
-Note that using a plain List for `g:ale_fixers` is not supported.
-
-```vim
-" In ~/.vim/vimrc, or somewhere similar.
-let g:ale_fixers = {
-\   '*': ['remove_trailing_lines', 'trim_whitespace'],
-\   'javascript': ['eslint'],
-\}
-```
-
-If you want to automatically fix files when you save them, you need to turn
-a setting on in vimrc.
-
-```vim
-" Set this variable to 1 to fix files when you save them.
-let g:ale_fix_on_save = 1
-```
-
-The `:ALEFixSuggest` command will suggest some supported tools for fixing code.
-Both `g:ale_fixers` and `b:ale_fixers` can also accept functions, including
-lambda functions, as fixers, for fixing files with custom tools.
-
-See `:help ale-fix` for complete information on how to fix files with ALE.
-
-<a name="usage-completion"></a>
-
-### 2.iii Completion
-
-ALE offers some support for completion via hijacking of omnicompletion while you
-type. All of ALE's completion information must come from Language Server
-Protocol linters, or from `tsserver` for TypeScript.
-
-ALE integrates with [Deoplete](https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim) as a
-completion source, named `'ale'`. You can configure Deoplete to only use ALE as
-the source of completion information, or mix it with other sources.
-
-```vim
-" Use ALE and also some plugin 'foobar' as completion sources for all code.
-call deoplete#custom#option('sources', {
-\ '_': ['ale', 'foobar'],
-\})
-```
-
-ALE also offers its own automatic completion support, which does not require any
-other plugins, and can be enabled by changing a setting before ALE is loaded.
-
-```vim
-" Enable completion where available.
-" This setting must be set before ALE is loaded.
-"
-" You should not turn this setting on if you wish to use ALE as a completion
-" source for other completion plugins, like Deoplete.
-let g:ale_completion_enabled = 1
-```
-
-ALE provides an omni-completion function you can use for triggering
-completion manually with `<C-x><C-o>`.
-
-```vim
-set omnifunc=ale#completion#OmniFunc
-```
-
-ALE supports automatic imports from external modules. This behavior is disabled
-by default and can be enabled by setting:
-
-```vim
-let g:ale_completion_autoimport = 1
-```
-
-See `:help ale-completion` for more information.

-### 2.vi Hovering
-

-the cursor taken from Language Server Protocol linters and `tsserver` with the
-`ALEHover` command.
-
-Truncated information will be displayed when the cursor rests on a symbol by
-default, as long as there are no problems on the same line.
-
-The information can be displayed in a `balloon` tooltip in Vim or GVim by
-hovering your mouse over symbols. Mouse hovering is enabled by default in GVim,
-and needs to be configured for Vim 8.1+ in terminals.

-any means, provided the plugin remains almost entirely written in Vim script.
-coc.nvim is primarily focused on bringing IDE features to Vim. If you want to
-run external programs on your files to check for errors, and also use the most
-advanced IDE features, you might want to use both plugins at the same time.
-
-The easiest way to get both plugins to work together is to configure coc.nvim to

-
-### 5.xvii. How can I configure my C or C++ project?
-
-The structure of C and C++ projects varies wildly from project to project, with
-many different build tools being used for building them, and many different
-formats for project configuration files. ALE can run compilers easily, but
-ALE cannot easily detect which compiler flags to use.
-
-Some tools and build configurations can generate
-[compile_commands.json](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html)
-files. The `cppcheck`, `clangcheck`, `clangtidy` and `cquery` linters can read
-these files for automatically determining the appropriate compiler flags to
-use.
-
-For linting with compilers like `gcc` and `clang`, and with other tools, you
-will need to tell ALE which compiler flags to use yourself. You can use
-different options for different projects with the `g:ale_pattern_options`
-setting.  Consult the documentation for that setting for more information.
-`b:ale_linters` can be used to select which tools you want to run, say if you
-want to use only `gcc` for one project, and only `clang` for another.
-
-ALE will attempt to parse `compile_commands.json` files to discover compiler
-flags to use when linting code. See `:help g:ale_c_parse_compile_commands` for
-more information. See Clang's documentation for
-[compile_commands.json files](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html).
-You should strongly consider generating them in your builds, which is easy to do
-with CMake.
-
-You can also configure ALE to automatically run `make -n` to run dry runs on
-`Makefile`s to discover compiler flags. This can execute arbitrary code, so the
-option is disabled by default. See `:help g:ale_c_parse_makefile`.
-
-You may also configure buffer-local settings for linters with project-specific
-vimrc files. [local_vimrc](https://github.com/LucHermitte/local_vimrc) can be
-used for executing local vimrc files which can be shared in your project.
-
-<a name="faq-buffer-configuration"></a>
-
-### 5.xviii. How can I configure ALE differently for different buffers?
-
-ALE offers various ways to configure which linters or fixers are run, and
-other settings. For the majority of ALE's settings, they can either be
-configured globally with a `g:` variable prefix, or for a specific buffer
-with a `b:` variable prefix. For example, you can configure a Python ftplugin
-file like so.
-
-```vim
-" In ~/.vim/ftplugin/python.vim
-
-" Check Python files with flake8 and pylint.
-let b:ale_linters = ['flake8', 'pylint']
-" Fix Python files with autopep8 and yapf.
-let b:ale_fixers = ['autopep8', 'yapf']
-" Disable warnings about trailing whitespace for Python files.
-let b:ale_warn_about_trailing_whitespace = 0
-```
-
-For configuring files based on regular expression patterns matched against the
-absolute path to a file, you can use `g:ale_pattern_options`.
-
-```vim
-" Do not lint or fix minified files.
-let g:ale_pattern_options = {
-\ '\.min\.js$': {'ale_linters': [], 'ale_fixers': []},
-\ '\.min\.css$': {'ale_linters': [], 'ale_fixers': []},
-\}
-" If you configure g:ale_pattern_options outside of vimrc, you need this.
-let g:ale_pattern_options_enabled = 1
-```
-
-Buffer-local variables for settings always override the global settings.
-
-<a name="faq-list-window-height"></a>
-
-### 5.xix. How can I configure the height of the list in which ALE displays errors?
-
-To set a default height for the error list, use the `g:ale_list_window_size` variable.
-
-```vim
-" Show 5 lines of errors (default: 10)
-let g:ale_list_window_size = 5
-```
-
-<a name="faq-vm"></a>
-
-### 5.xx. How can I run linters or fixers via Docker or a VM?
-
-ALE supports running linters or fixers via Docker, virtual machines, or in
-combination with any remote machine with a different file system, so long as the
-tools are well-integrated with ALE, and ALE is properly configured to run the
-correct commands and map filename paths between different file systems. See
-`:help ale-lint-other-machines` for the full documentation on how to configure
-ALE to support this.
-
-<a name="faq-window-borders"></a>
-
-### 5.xxi. How can I change the borders for floating preview windows?
-
-Borders for floating preview windows are enabled by default. You can use the
-`g:ale_floating_window_border` setting to configure them.
-
-You could disable the border with an empty list.
-
-```vim
-let g:ale_floating_window_border = []
-```
-
-If the terminal supports Unicode, you might try setting the value like below, to
-make it look nicer.
