 The HTML documentation (as seen [on the PowerDNS docs site](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/)) is built from ReStructured Text (rst) files located in `docs`. They are compiled into HTML files using [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/index.html), a documentation generator tool which is built in Python.
 
-**Using a normal Python installation**
-
-For those simply contributing to the documentation, this avoids needing to install the various build
-tools and other dependencies.
-
-Install Python 2.7 or Python 3 (preferable) if you don't yet have it installed. On some operating
-systems you may also have to install `python3-pip` or similarly named.

-Update your `pip` and install/update `virtualenv` to avoid problems:

-```sh
-# for python2, use "pip" instead of "pip3"
-pip3 install -U pip
-pip3 install -U virtualenv

-Enter the repository's `docs` folder, set up the virtualenv, and install the requirements
-
-```sh
-cd docs
-# for python2, use "virtualenv .venv" instead
-python3 -m venv .venv
-source .venv/bin/activate
-# The virtualenv may use an older pip, so upgrade it again
-pip3 install -U pip setuptools setuptools-git
-# Now you can install the requirements
-pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-```

-Finally, you can build the documentation:
-
-```sh
-sphinx-build . html-docs

-
-Note: If your shell has problems finding sphinx-build, try using `.venv/bin/sphinx-build` instead.

-Solaris Notes
--------------
-Use a recent gcc (and other build tools), possibly from Solaris 11 IPS.
-
-If you encounter problems with the Solaris make, gmake is advised.
-
 FreeBSD Notes
 -------------
 You need to compile using gmake - regular make only appears to work, but doesn't in fact. Use gmake, not make.
