+The ``books/{name}.*`` targets are building *books*. A *book* is a
+sub-directory containing a ``conf.py`` file. One example is the user handbook
+which can deployed separately (:origin:`docs/user/conf.py`). Such ``conf.py``
+do inherit from :origin:`docs/conf.py` and overwrite values to fit *book's*
+needs.
+
+With the help of Intersphinx_ (:ref:`reST smart ref`) the links to searx’s
+documentation outside of the book will be bound by the object inventory of
+``DOCS_URL``. Take into account that URLs will be picked from the inventary at
+documentation's build time.
