 ## Features
 
-- **Ahead of time compilation** - Mun is compiled ahead of time (AOT), as opposed to being
-  interpreted or compiled just in time (JIT). By detecting errors in the code during AOT
-  compilation, an entire class of runtime errors is eliminated. This allows developers to stay
-  within the comfort of their IDE instead of having to switch between the IDE and target application
-  to debug runtime errors.
-
-- **Statically typed** - Mun resolves types at compilation time instead of at runtime, resulting in
-  immediate feedback when writing code and opening the door for powerful refactoring tools.
-
-- **First class hot-reloading** - Every aspect of Mun is designed with hot reloading in mind. Hot
-  reloading is the process of changing code and resources of a live application, removing the need
-  to start, stop and recompile an application whenever a function or value is changed.
-
-- **Performance** - AOT compilation combined with static typing ensure that Mun is compiled to
-  machine code that can be natively executed on any target platform. LLVM is used for compilation
-  and optimization, guaranteeing the best possible performance. Hot reloading does introduce a
-  slight runtime overhead, but it can be disabled for production builds to ensure the best possible

+## Building Documentation
+
+Building the book requires
+[mdBook](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook), ideally version 0.3.x. To
+install it, run:
+
+```
+$ cargo install mdbook --vers [version-num]
+```
+
+The Mun book uses a [custom version of
+Highlight.js](https://github.com/mun-lang/highlight.js) to enable highlighting
+of Mun code. The build version of Highlight.js is required by mdbook in the
+`theme/` folder but it is not distributed with the source. Instead, it can be
+build by invoking the build script:
+
+```bash
+cd book
+./ci/build-highlight-js
+```
+
+Every time you change something in the custom version of highlight.js you have
+to call the above script to ensure you locally use the latest version.
+
+After generating the custom minified Highlight.js, to build the book, type:
+
+```
+$ mdbook build 
+```
+
+The output will be in the book subdirectory. To view the book, open it in your
+web browser.
+
+For local development use `mdbook serve` instead of `mdbook build`. This will
+start a local webserver on port `3000` that serves the book and rebuilds the
+content when changes are detected.
+
+All of the above is also combined in a single shell script that can be invoked
+by simply running:
+
+```bash
+./ci/build
+```
+
+To test the `rust` source code in the book, run:
+
+```bash
+mdbook test -L path/to/target/debug/deps
+```
+
+For this to work, there can only be one `libmun_runtime-{HASH}.rlib` file in the
+provided library path.
