This project uses the PHP-FIG standard for commenting code, and we've taken great effort to show how and why each function is used. If you find a comment that needs amending, please feel free to submit a pull request to the dev branch. We want MINIM1 comments to be easy to read, helping new users understand why functions work the way they do.
