Modules
-------
NetSurf's source is organised in modules. A module usually consists of a
.c and .h file. For example the html module is in html.c and html.h.
All functions (including static functions) in a module should start
<module>\_, for example html\_create(), html\_process\_data(), etc. This
makes functions easy to find and names unique through the source, which
is helpful for backtraces, documentation, etc.
Global variables in a module (including static) should also start
<module>\_.
Static functions should all be declared at the top.
Put functions in a logical order, for example any init function first,
then functions it calls, then the next externally available function,
functions it calls, etc.
Coding Style
------------
We use K&R (2nd edition ANSI C) style, tabs for indent, 80 characters
wide, lower\_case\_with\_underscores.
See the [Style
Guide](http://www.netsurf-browser.org/developers/StyleGuide.pdf) for
further information and examples.
