+Building the documentation
+==========================
+
+To build the documentation you need the following software installed on your
+system:
+
+* [Python](https://www.python.org/) with pip and virtualenv
+* [Doxygen](http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/)
+* [Less](http://lesscss.org/) with less-plugin-clean-css
+
+First generate makefiles or project files using CMake as described in
+previous section. Then compile the ``doc`` target/project, for example::
+
+  make doc
+
+This will generate HTML documenation in ``doc/html``.
