 This project uses Sphinx_ documentation generator.
-After you have set up to `develop locally`_, run the following commands to generate the HTML documentation: ::
 
-    $ sphinx-build docs/ docs/_build/html/
+After you have set up to `develop locally`_, run the following command from the project directory to build and serve HTML documentation: ::
+
+    $ make -C docs livehtml
 
 If you set up your project to `develop locally with docker`_, run the following command: ::

+    $ docker-compose -f local.yml up docs
+
+Navigate to port 7000 on your host to see the documentation. This will be opened automatically at `localhost`_ for local, non-docker development.
 
 Generate API documentation
 ----------------------------
 
-Sphinx can automatically generate documentation from docstrings, to enable this feature, follow these steps:
+Edit the docs/_source files and project application docstrings to create your documentation.
 
-1. Add Sphinx extension in ``docs/conf.py`` file, like below: ::
-
-    extensions = [
-        'sphinx.ext.autodoc',
-    ]
-
-2. Uncomment the following lines in the ``docs/conf.py`` file: ::
-
-    # import django
-    # sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('..'))
-    # os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "config.settings.local")
-    # django.setup()
-
-3. Run the following command: ::
-
-    $ sphinx-apidoc -f -o ./docs/modules/ ./tpub/ migrations/*
-
-   If you set up your project to `develop locally with docker`_, run the following command: ::
-
-    $ docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django sphinx-apidoc -f -o ./docs/modules ./tpub/ migrations/*
-
-4. Regenerate HTML documentation as written above.
+Sphinx can automatically include class and function signatures and docstrings in generated documentation. 
+See the generated project documentation for more examples.

+How To - Project Documentation
+======================================================================
+
+Get Started
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Documentation can be written as rst files in the `{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/docs/_source`.
+
+{% if cookiecutter.use_docker == 'n' %}
+To build and serve docs, use the command:
+    ::
+    
+        make livehtml 
+    
+from inside the `{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/docs` directory. 
+{% else %}
+To build and serve docs, use the commands:
+    ::
+    
+        docker-compose -f local.yml build
+        docker run docs
+{% endif %}
+
+Changes to files in `docs/_source` will be picked up and reloaded automatically.
+
+`Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/>`_ is the tool used to build documentation.
+
+Docstrings to Documentation
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The sphinx extension `apidoc <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/man/sphinx-apidoc.html/>`_ is used to automatically document code using signatures and docstrings.
+
+Numpy or Google style docstrings will be picked up from project files and availble for documentation. See the `Napoleon <https://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ extension for details.
+
+For an in-use example, see the `page source <_sources/users.rst.txt>`_ for :ref:`users`.
+
+To compile all docstrings automatically into documentation source files, use the command:
+    ::
+    
+        make apidocs
+
+{% if cookiecutter.use_docker == 'y' %}
+This can be done in the docker container:
+    :: 
+        
+        docker run --rm docs make apidocs
