+### Style guidelines
+
+The project includes a [`.editorconfig`](https://editorconfig.org) [file](https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/blob/master/.editorconfig) with the editor basic settings used by the project.
+However, most editors will need some action to honour those settings automatically. 
+For example vscode needs to have installed a specific [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=EditorConfig.EditorConfig).
+Please, try to follow those basic settings to keep the codebase as uniform as possible.
