<para>If you make modifications to the manual, it's important to build the manual before contributing:</para>
<para>The DocBook sources of the Nixpkgs manual are in the <filename
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/doc">doc</filename>
subdirectory of the Nixpkgs repository. If you make modifications to
the manual, it's important to build it before committing. You can do that as follows:
<orderedlist>
<screen>
$ cd /path/to/nixpkgs
$ nix-build doc
</screen>
<listitem><para><command>$ git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git</command></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><command>$ nix-build -A manual nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/release.nix</command></para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Inside the built derivation you shall see <literal>manual/index.html</literal> file.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
If the build succeeds, the manual will be in
<filename>./result/share/doc/nixpkgs/manual.html</filename>.</para>
