+C++ Code Style
+==============
+
+We use `clang-format`_ version **3.8** to define our style for C++ code in
+the CMake source tree.  See the `.clang-format`_ configuration file for our
+style settings.  Use the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash`_ script to
+format source code.  It automatically runs ``clang-format`` on the set of
+source files for which we enforce style.  The script also has options to
+format only a subset of files, such as those that are locally modified.
