-# Building documentation
-
-## Specifying Files
-
-To specify the source files for which to build documentation, modify `INPUT`
-and its related fields in `doc/source.dox`. Note that the `INPUT` paths are
-relative to the `doc/` directory.
-
-## Install Dependencies
-
-### Windows
-
-Install these dependencies:
-
-1. Install [Doxygen](http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html)
-2. Download the following zip files from [xsltproc](https://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/)
-  (Alternate download: ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/libxml/),
-  and extract the `bin\` folder contents into any folder in your path.
-  * iconv
-  * libxml2
-  * libxslt
-  * zlib
-3. Download [Boost](http://www.boost.org/users/download/)
-  1. Extract the compressed file contents to your (new) `$BOOST_ROOT` location.
-  2. Open a command prompt or shell in the `$BOOST_ROOT`.
-  3. `./bootstrap.bat`
-  4. If it is not already there, add your `$BOOST_ROOT` to your environment `$PATH`.
-
-### MacOS
-
-1. Install doxygen:
-  * Use homebrew to install: `brew install doxygen`.  The executable will be
-    installed in `/usr/local/bin` which is already in your path.
-  * Alternatively, install from here: [doxygen](http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html).
-    You'll then need to make doxygen available to your command line.  You can
-    do this by adding a symbolic link from `/usr/local/bin` to the doxygen
-    executable.  For example, `$ ln -s /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen /usr/local/bin/doxygen`
-2. Install [Boost](http://www.boost.org/users/download/)
-  1. Extract the compressed file contents to your (new) `$BOOST_ROOT` location.
-  2. Open a command prompt or shell in the `$BOOST_ROOT`.
-  3. `$ ./bootstrap.bat`
-  4. If it is not already there, add your `$BOOST_ROOT` to your environment
-     `$PATH`.  This makes the `b2` command available to the command line.
-3. That should be all that's required.  In OS X 10.11, at least, libxml2 and
-   libxslt come pre-installed.
-
-### Linux
-
-1. Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)
-2. Build Docker image. From the Beast root folder:
-```
-sudo docker build -t beast-docs doc/
-```
-
-## Do it
-
-### Windows & MacOS
-
-From the Beast root folder:
-```
-cd doc
-./makeqbk.sh && b2
-```
-The output will be in `doc/html`.
-
-### Linux
-
-From the Beast root folder:
-```
-sudo docker run -v $PWD:/opt/beast --rm beast-docs
-```
-The output will be in `doc/html`.
