String and quotation style#

Use a strict quote policy. It keeps diffs consistent and it aligns with the existing codebase.

Policy#

  • Use double quotes (") for string literals in Python and TypeScript.

  • Use triple double quotes (""") for docstrings.

  • Only deviate when the alternative meaningfully improves readability (for example: fewer escapes).

Why this is safe#

  • Python is formatted with Black.

  • TypeScript sources already use double quotes in molsysviewer/js/src/.
