Meson's documentation about cross-compilation made me finally understand why the typical confusion about machine names. Thanks, but let's make it even better. Don't wait until the very end of the section to reveal the most important information: that machine names are relative. For suspense we already have TV shows; spill the beans much earlier. Also fix the first, simplest cross-compilation example: target is irrelevant. |

Meson Documentation
Build dependencies
Meson uses itself and hotdoc for generating documentation.
Minimum required version of hotdoc is 0.8.9.
Instructions on how to install hotdoc are here.
Building the documentation
From the Meson repository root dir:
$ cd docs/
$ meson built_docs
$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload
Now you should be able to open the documentation locally
built_docs/Meson documentation-doc/html/index.html
Upload
Meson uses the git-upload hotdoc plugin which basically removes the html pages and replaces with the new content.
You can simply run:
$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload
Contributing to the documentation
Commits that only change documentation should have [skip ci] in their commit message, so CI is not run (it is quite slow).
For example:
A commit message [skip ci]
