+## File format
+Use [lv_misc/lv_templ.c](https://github.com/littlevgl/lvgl/blob/master/src/lv_misc/lv_templ.c) and [lv_misc/lv_templ.h](https://github.com/littlevgl/lvgl/blob/master/src/lv_misc/lv_templ.h)
+
+## Naming conventions
+* Words are separated by '_'
+* In variable and function names use only lower case letters (e.g. *height_tmp*)
+* In enums and defines use only upper case letters (e.g. *e.g. MAX_LINE_NUM*)
+* Global names (API):
+ * starts with *lv*
+ * followed by module name: *btn*, *label*, *style* etc.
+ * followed by the action (for functions): *set*, *get*, *refr* etc.
+ * closed with the subject: *name*, *size*, *state* etc.
+* Typedefs
+ * prefer `typedef struct` and `typedef enum` instead of `struct name` and `enum name`
+ * always end `typedef struct` and `typedef enum` type names with `_t`
+* Abbreviations:
+ * Use abbreviations on public names only if they become longer than 32 characters
+ * Use only very straightforward (e.g. pos: position) or well-established (e.g. pr: press) abbreviations
+
+## Coding guide
+* Functions:
+ * Try to write function shorter than is 50 lines
+ * Always shorter than 100 lines (except very straightforwards)
+* Variables:
+ * One line, one declaration (BAD: char x, y;)
+ * Use `<stdint.h>` (*uint8_t*, *int32_t* etc)
+ * Declare variables when needed (not all at function start)
+ * Use the smallest required scope
+ * Variables in a file (outside functions) are always *static*
+ * Do not use global variables (use functions to set/get static variables)
+
+## Comments
+Before every function have a comment like this:
+
+```c
+/**
+ * Return with the screen of an object
+ * @param obj pointer to an object
+ * @return pointer to a screen
+ */
+lv_obj_t * lv_obj_get_scr(lv_obj_t * obj);
+```
+
+Always use `/* Something */` format and NOT `//Something`
+
+Write readable code to avoid descriptive comments like:
+`x++; /* Add 1 to x */`.
+The code should show clearly what you are doing.
+
+You should write **why** have you done this:
+`x++; /*Because of closing '\0' of the string */`
+
+Short "code summaries" of a few lines are accepted. E.g. `/*Calculate the new coordinates*/`
+
+In comments use \` \` when referring to a variable. E.g. ``/*Update the value of `x_act`*/``
+
+### Formatting
+Here is example to show bracket placing and using of white spaces:
+```c
+/**
+ * Set a new text for a label. Memory will be allocated to store the text by the label.
+ * @param label pointer to a label object
+ * @param text '\0' terminated character string. NULL to refresh with the current text.
+ */
+void lv_label_set_text(lv_obj_t * label, const char * text)
+{ /* Main brackets of functions in new line*/
+
+ if(label == NULL) return; /*No bracket only if the command is inline with the if statement*/
+
+ lv_obj_inv(label);
+
+ lv_label_ext_t * ext = lv_obj_get_ext(label);
+
+ /*Comment before a section */
+ if(text == ext->txt || text == NULL) { /*Bracket of statements start inline*/
+ lv_label_refr_text(label);
+ return;
+ }
+
+ ...
+}
+```
+
+Use 4 spaces indentation instead of tab.
+
+You can use **astyle** to format the code. The required config flies are: `docs/astyle_c` and `docs/astyle_h`.
+To format the source files:
+ `$ find . -type f -name "*.c" | xargs astyle --options=docs/astyle_c`
+
+To format the header files:
+ `$ find . -type f -name "*.h" | xargs astyle --options=docs/astyle_h`
+
+Append `-n` to the end to skip creation of backup file OR use `$ find . -type f -name "*.bak" -delete` (for source file's backups) and `find . -type f -name "*.orig" -delete` (for header file's backups)
