This repo holds the boilerplate files (header, footer, other "constant" bits of specs) used by Bikeshed.
The top-level files in the boilerplate/
folder are used by default,
if there's nothing more specific.
The subfolders are for specific groups (the Group
metadata in a Bikeshed file) to override the defaults with group-specific variants. In there, the filename may also have a status (the Status
metadata in the Bikeshed file) to further specialize them.
If you need to change an existing boilerplate for your group, just send a PR.
If you need to add or remove files from an existing group's folder, send a PR. I will additionally need to regenerate the manifest, so it might be delayed until I'm at a work computer.
If you're adding files for a new group,
look for an existing group's files that generate specs that look similar to what you want.
If you're a W3C group, start with the contents of the boilerplates/w3c/
folder.
