Overview

We want to change an img HTML tag ending with a slash (<img.../>) to an img tag without an ending slash (<img...>) so that the codebase is consistent with how we use img HTML tags.

Action Items

  • In your local IDE, open the file CONTRIBUTING.md
  • In Section 3.1.b, iv change
- If your images are too big, use the <img src="" width="" length="" />  syntax instead of ![image](link) to format the images

to

- If your images are too big, use the <img src="" width="" length="">  syntax instead of ![image](link) to format the images

- [ ] The file may contain more than one instance of an img tag with a closing slash. Only change the single instance specified above. Do not leave any blank spaces before the closing bracket.

  • Changes to CONTRIBUTING.md cannot be tested locally, rather they must be tested after pushing the issue branch to your fork of the repository. Push your issue branch in the usual manner, but before creating the Pull Request, check your updates using this test URL (also store the test URL for use in a later step)
https://github.com/[REPLACE WITH GITHUB HANDLE]/website/blob/[REPLACE WITH NAME OF ISSUE BRANCH]/CONTRIBUTING.md

(for example: https://github.com/roslynwythe/website/blob/test-CONTRIB/CONTRIBUTING.md)

  • Create a pull request with your changes. In the Pull Request, after the "Why did you make the changes" section, add this line to help reviewers, replacing the text in brackets (and the brackets) with the test URL from the previous Action Item.
For Reviewers: Do not test changes locally, rather test changes at [REPLACE WITH TEST URL]
