+If you’d like to build the documentation, it’s almost the same:
+
+```sh
+./configure
+$ make docs

+
+```sh
+$ make docs NO_REBUILD=1 
+```
+
+To make sure you don’t re-build the compiler because you made a change
+to some documentation.
+
+The generated documentation will appear in a top-level `doc` directory,
+created by the `make` rule.

 ## Notes
 
 Since the Rust compiler is written in Rust, it must be built by a
