+Custom Bootstrap Compilation
+^^^^^^
+
+To get automatic Bootstrap recompilation with variables of your choice, install bootstrap sass (`bower install bootstrap-sass`) and tweak your variables in `static/sass/custom_bootstrap_vars`.
+
+(You can find a list of available variables [in the bootstrap-sass source](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_variables.scss), or get explanations on them in the [Bootstrap docs](https://getbootstrap.com/customize/).)
