+## Editor/IDE styling standardization
+
+We use [EditorConfig](https://editorconfig.org/) to automatically apply certain styling
+standards before files are saved locally. Most editors/IDEs will honor the `.editorconfig`
+settings automatically by default. If your editor/IDE does not automatically support `.editorconfig`,
+we suggest investigating to see if a plugin exists. For instance here is the
+[plugin for vim](https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-vim).
