+Building Docs
+-------------
+Normal Sphinx docs can be built via the setuptools `build_sphinx` command. To
+do this via `tox`, simply run `tox -evenv -- python setup.py build_sphinx`,
+which will cause a virtualenv with all of the needed dependencies to be
+created and then inside of the virtualenv, the docs will be created and
+put into doc/build/html.
+
+If you'd like a PDF of the documentation, you'll need LaTeX installed, and
+additionally some fonts. On Ubuntu systems, you can get what you need with::
+
+ apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended
+
+Then run `build_sphinx_latex`, change to the build dir and run `make`.
+Like so::
+
+ tox -evenv -- python setup.py build_sphinx_latex
+ cd build/sphinx/latex
+ make
+
+You should wind up with a PDF - Nova.pdf.
