+
+Sphinx, and thus MyST-Parser, is built on top of the [Docutils](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/) package.
+MyST-Parser offers a renderer, parser and CLI-interface for working directly with Docutils, independent of Sphinx, as described below.
+
+:::{note}
+Since these tools are independent of Sphinx, this means they cannot parse any Sphinx or Sphinx extensions specific roles or directives.
+:::
+
+On installing MyST-Parser, the following CLI-commands are made available:
+
+- `myst-docutils-html`: converts MyST to HTML
+- `myst-docutils-html5`: converts MyST to HTML5
+- `myst-docutils-latex`: converts MyST to LaTeX
+- `myst-docutils-xml`: converts MyST to docutils-native XML
+- `myst-docutils-pseudoxml`: converts MyST to pseudo-XML (to visualise the AST structure)
+
+Each command can be piped stdin or take a file path as an argument:
+
+```console
+$ myst-docutils-html --help
+$ echo "Hello World" | myst-docutils-html
+$ myst-docutils-html hello-world.md
+```
+
+The commands are based on the [Docutils Front-End Tools](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/tools.html), and so follow the same argument and options structure, included many of the MyST specific options detailed in [](sphinx/config-options).
+
+:::{dropdown}  Shared Docutils CLI Options
+```{docutils-cli-help}
+```
+:::
+
+The CLI commands can also utilise the [`docutils.conf` configuration file](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/config.html) to configure the behaviour of the CLI commands. For example:
+
+```
+# These entries affect all processing:
+[general]
+myst-enable-extensions: deflist,linkify
+myst-footnote-transition: no
+
+# These entries affect specific HTML output:
+[html writers]
+embed-stylesheet: no
+
+[html5 writer]
+stylesheet-dirs: path/to/html5_polyglot/
+stylesheet-path: minimal.css, responsive.css
+```
+
+You can also use the {py:class}`myst_parser.docutils_.Parser` class programmatically with the [Docutils publisher API](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/api/publisher.html):
+
+```python
+from docutils.core import publish_string
+from myst_parser.docutils_ import Parser
+
+source = "hallo world\n: Definition"
+output = publish_string(
+    source=source,
+    writer_name="html5",
+    settings_overrides={
+        "myst_enable_extensions": ["deflist"],
+        "embed_stylesheet": False,
+    },
+    parser=Parser(),
+)
+```
+
+Finally, you can include MyST Markdown files within a RestructuredText file, using the [`include` directive](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#include):
+
+```rst
+.. include:: include.md
+   :parser: myst_parser.docutils_
+```
+
+```{important}
+The `parser` option requires `docutils>=0.17`
+```
