Yes, in general we expect students to produce documentation while they
work on also creating code.

I think the direction we're heading right now is toward using
clang-format, perhaps with an update to a common coding style. In this
case, we solve our problem by policy rather than technical solution,
and your work should focus on tool integration and automation without
concern about the coding style itself.
