+If you're using a custom Dockerfile, you can use `target.{{TARGET}}.dockerfile` to automatically build it

+`cross` will build and use the image that was built instead of the default image. If `target.{{TARGET}}.image` has been
+set, `cross` will name the image, otherwise it will build it as an untagged image.

 It's recommended to base your custom image on the default Docker image that
 cross uses: `ghcr.io/cross-rs/{{TARGET}}:{{VERSION}}` (where `{{VERSION}}` is cross's version).
 This way you won't have to figure out how to install a cross C toolchain in your
-custom image. Example below:
