Created page with "Student web pages should follow these conventions: == File organization == All of your web page files go in a folder known as the local root folder (or similar names)...."

New page

Student web pages should follow these conventions:

== File organization ==

All of your web page files go in a folder known as the [[local root folder]] (or similar names).

* '''Local''' because it's on your local computer (as opposed to '''Remote''' -- the web server)
* '''Root''' because it contains your [[Home page]], along with sub-folders

== Naming conventions ==

* File and folder names as specified in exercises
** Where not specified, your choice -- but see file naming restrictions below

== File naming restrictions ==

Names of files and folders:

* Must begin with a letter
* Must be letters which have keys on a standard keyboard
* Must not contain space characters
* Must not contain any of the following characters (unless you can justify why you need it):

<code>~ @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) { } [ ] | \ / ? < > , : ; </code>

Acceptable (other than first character in name):

* Numbers
* Hyphen (<code>-</code>)
* Underscore <code>_</code>

Note that the neither the hyphen nor the underscore is a "dash". There is no "dash" key on a standard keyboard.
