+Here is a script and a Makefile for generating a Meson docset for Dash. The script is based on the dash-docset-generation-template
+
+- Meson: https://mesonbuild.com/
+- Dash: https://kapeli.com/dash
+- dash-docset-generation-template: https://github.com/lshprung/dash-docset-generation-template
+
+To generate a docset from the latest edition of the Meson Manual:
+1. Build an offline copy of the Meson official docs from https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/tree/master/docs by following their instructions.
+2. Create a .tar.gz file called `Meson.src.tgz` containing everything from the `built_docs/Meson documentation-doc/html` directory, and place it in the same directory as this README.
+ - Do not name it `Meson.tgz` because that is what the packaged Dash docset will be called
+3. Now simply execute `make` from the same directory as this README file.
+
