+      EditorConfig makes it easy to maintain the correct coding style when
+      switching between different text editors and between different
+      projects. The EditorConfig project maintains a file format and plugins
+      for various text editors which allow this file format to be read and used
+      by those editors. For information on the file format and supported text
+      editors, see the EditorConfig website.
