             The documentation is written using reStructuredText. You may find this article on  The subset of reStructuredText worth committing to memory  useful. 
             You can build it locally by installing  sphinx  and  sphinx_rtd_theme  in your Datasette development environment and then running  make html  directly in the  docs/  directory: 
             # You may first need to activate your virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate

# Install the dependencies needed to build the docs
pip install -e .[docs]

# Now build the docs
cd docs/
make html 
             This will create the HTML version of the documentation in  docs/_build/html . You can open it in your browser like so: 
             open _build/html/index.html 
             Any time you make changes to a  .rst  file you can re-run  make html  to update the built documents, then refresh them in your browser. 
             For added productivity, you can use use  sphinx-autobuild  to run Sphinx in auto-build mode. This will run a local webserver serving the docs that automatically rebuilds them and refreshes the page any time you hit save in your editor. 
             sphinx-autobuild  will have been installed when you ran  pip install -e .[docs] . In your  docs/  directory you can start the server by running the following: 
             make livehtml 
             Now browse to  http://localhost:8000/  to view the documentation. Any edits you make should be instantly reflected in your browser.","[""Contributing""]","[{""href"": ""https://readthedocs.org/"", ""label"": ""Read The Docs""}, {""href"": ""https://simonwillison.net/2018/Aug/25/restructuredtext/"", ""label"": ""The subset of reStructuredText worth committing to memory""}, {""href"": ""https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-autobuild/"", ""label"": ""sphinx-autobuild""}]"
