Chromium also uses these languages to a lesser degree:

• WebIDL
• Mojo IDL for cross-process IPC
• Jinja style guide for Jinja templates.

Regardless of the language used, please keep code inclusive for all contributors.

Web languages (JavaScript, HTML, CSS)

When working on Web-based UI features, consult the Web Development Style Guide for the Chromium conventions used in JS/CSS/HTML files.

Internal uses of web languages, notably “layout” tests, should preferably follow these style guides, but it is not enforced.
