+### Code Style
+
+Brotli's code follows the [Google Python Style Guide][].  To
+automatically format your code, install [YAPF][]:
+
+    $ pip install yapf
+
+Then, either format a single file:
+
+    $ yapf --in-place FILE
+
+Or, format all files in a directory:
+
+    $ yapf --in-place --recursive DIR
+
+See the [YAPF usage][] documentation for more information.
