+After saying `make refdoc' or `make refdoc-venv' the `reference/' directory
+contains the FreeType API reference. You need Python >= 3.5 and pip to make
+this target.
+
+There are two ways to generate the documentation:
+
+1. Using `make refdoc':
+
+ - Ensure `python' and `pip' are available.
+ - Install pip package `docwriter' with `pip install --user docwriter'.
+ - Make target with `make refdoc'.
+ - This target can be run offline once required packages are installed.
+
+2. Using `make refdoc-venv' (requires internet access):
+
+ - Ensure `python', `pip' and Python package `virtualenv' are available.
+ - Make target with `make refdoc-venv'.
+ - This may or may not require internet access every time depending on
+ pip and system caching.
+
+This also works with Jam: Just type `jam refdoc' in the main directory.
+
+Some troubleshooting tips:
+
+* Regularly run `pip install --upgrade docwriter' to check for updates which
+may include bug fixes.
+
+* `Docwriter' does not support Python 2. Ensure that Python >= 3.5 is
+installed and available as `python3'/`python'.
+
+* Ensure that `docwriter' is installed in the same Python target that
+`make refdoc' uses (python3/python).
+
+* If none of this works, send a mail to `freetype-devel@nongnu.org' or file
+an issue at `https://github.com/freetype/docwriter/issues'.
