+Importing documentation from MDN
+--------------------------------
+
+As MDN should not be used for documenting mozilla-central specific code or process,
+the documentation should be migrated in this repository.
+
+Fortunatelly, there is an easy way to import the doc from MDN
+to the firefox source docs.
+
+1. Install https://pandoc.org/
+
+2. Add a ``?raw=1`` add the end of the MDN URL
+
+3. Run pandoc the following way:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ pandoc -t rst https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript?raw\=1 > doc.rst
+
+4. Verify the rst syntax using `./mach lint -l rst`_
+
+.. _./mach lint -l rst: /tools/lint/linters/rstlinter.html
+
+5. If relevant, remove unbreakable spaces (rendered with a "!" on Phabricator)
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ sed -i -e 's/\xc2\xa0/ /g' doc.rst
