+    (venv)$ pip install -e '.[docs]'

+Then view the output by opening a web browser at ``_build/html/index.html``.
+Developers should also check that they can successfully build other formats using ``make latexpdf`` and ``make epub``.
+All three formats will be built by *Read the Docs* for the ``main`` branch on GitHub.
