Do you know of a tool that'd be a good fit?

Here's the GitHub issue template to submit a tool:
github.com/rustfoundati...
Build software better, together
GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

We'll probably see the work done by early next week leaning towards one guideline per page, unless folks speak up otherwise 😉
December 16, 2025 at 3:58 PM
So far three in favor of one guideline per page, so if you've got other thoughts, weigh in!

Step two's attending meetings for some area of interest:
- Coding Guidelines
- Liaison
- Tooling

That's also easy:

We addressed a few long-standing issues which were becoming troublesome
- cleaner word-wrap on text
- proper spacing without crowding between paragraphs
- code blocks don't wrap, but allow horizontal scroll

We'd also heard that it's important to be able to include more compliant and non-compliant examples of the coding guideline to ensure clarity, so we upped the number of each.

Another challenge we were facing is the growing number of contributions (a good thing!) causing a bit of review slow-down and then merge conflicts.

To resolve this, we changed from having each chapter contain all guideline sources to instead breaking each guideline into its own file, then including

It was important that we catch the code examples in the guidelines early, before we have a large proliferation of coding guidelines and fixing the examples would have become painful.

Screenshots show what running the script locally looks like to extract and test the example code.

Survey closes next week Friday, so please take 10 minutes or so to leave your thoughts.

We'll be closely monitoring those items which have "Would contribute (financially or with engineering)" for potential Rust Project Goals
