Canonical Guide to Tag Formatting?

Hi Greg,

I don’t think there is a style requirement from RF’s perspective, it’s a pretty flexible tool, but there are a few things to keep in mind when creating a standard or style guide:

  • spaces in tag names will make your life harder at the command line when try to filter by tags, so CamelCase or kabab-case are probably a better choice
  • If tags might get passed through to a filename and you have a mixed environment keep you cases all the same (all lower or all upper) as Windows will treat Cat, cAT, CAT, and cat as the same file but *nix systems (including MacOS) will treat them all as different files

Dave.
