## Local Testing
-Assuming that you have the [dependencies](https://podman.io/getting-started/installation#build-and-run-dependencies)
+To build standard man pages, run `make docs`. Results will be in `docs/build/man`.

+To build HTMLized man pages: Assuming that you have the
+[dependencies](https://podman.io/getting-started/installation#build-and-run-dependencies)
installed, then also install (showing Fedora in the example):
```
-# dnf install python3-sphinx python3-recommonmark
-# pip install sphinx-markdown-tables
+$ sudo dnf install python3-sphinx python3-recommonmark
+$ pip install sphinx-markdown-tables myst_parser
```
+(The above dependencies are current as of 2022-09-15. If you experience problems,
+please see [requirements.txt](requirements.txt) in this directory, it will almost
+certainly be more up-to-date than this README.)
+
After that completes, cd to the `docs` directory in your Podman sandbox and then do `make html`.
You can then preview the html files in `docs/build/html` with:
```
python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html
```
+...and point your web browser at `http://localhost:8000/`
