+jsdoc support
+=============
+
+Here is a quick example, for the public AddonManager :ref:`API <AddonManager Reference>`
+
+To use it for your own code:
+
+#. Check that JSDoc generates the output you expect (you may need to use a @class annotation on "object initializer"-style class definitions for instance)
+
+#. Create an `.rst file`, which may contain explanatory text as well as the API docs. The minimum will look something like
+ `this <https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/_sources/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/addon-manager/AddonManager.rst.txt>`__
+
+#. Ensure your component is on the js_source_path here in the sphinx
+ config: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/72ee4800d415/tools/docs/conf.py#l46
+
+#. Run `mach doc` locally to generate the output and confirm that it looks correct.
