 RAJA enforces style within the ``src`` and ``include`` directories using clang-format,
 major version 14.  Formatting will be enforced on pull requests through CI.

+Each contributor must guarantee that their code is in compliance with the
 clang-format settings specified within ``.clang-format``.  To make this easy,
 RAJA has provided two options for applying clang-format:
 
 * The CMake build target ``style``
 
   *  If a ``clang-format`` executable with major version 14 is available in the ``PATH``
-     when running CMake, RAJA's build system should find that executable and set
