+Building the Documentation
+--------------------------
+
+(This subsection describes how to build the HTML documentation you are
+currently reading, so it can be safely skipped.)
+
+Documentation is in the ``doc/`` subdirectory. It's written in
+reStructuredText_ with Sphinx_ annotations. To generate the HTML
+documentation, invoke::
+
+ cd doc/
+ sphinx-build . .build/html
+
+... and point your browser to ``.build/html/index.html``. Sphinx_ is
+required to generate the documentation.
