i'm trying to build the docs as per
http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD#Building_the_Docs

i have a working setup to build the latest dmd/druntime/phobos
but somehow the makefile tries to download an old dmd version and my bandwith currently is a bit restricted and i want an offline version.

also the documentation is a bit unclear on what actually happens and is being built.

would be really helpful.

To prevent downloading / building old versions of dmd, when running make in the dlang.org repo, specify the 'html' target:

	make -f posix.mak html

This will also skip the Kindle builds and various other things that may require installing additional tools.

Added to the wiki because I was having the same problem.
