+Building PEPs Locally
+=====================
+
+Whilst editing a PEP, it is useful to review the rendered output locally.
+This can also be used to check that the PEP is valid reStructuredText before
+submission to the PEP editors.
+
+The rest of this document assumes you are working from a local clone of the
+`PEPs repository <https://github.com/python/peps>`__, with Python 3.9 or later
+installed.
+
+
+Render PEPs locally
+-------------------
+
+1. Create a virtual environment and install requirements.
+
+   The rest of these instructions assume an active virtual environment named
+   ``venv``.
+   The Python Packaging User Guide contains
+   `instructions on creating a virtual environment <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#creating-a-virtual-environment>`__
+   for reference.
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      (venv) $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+      (venv) $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+2. **(Optional)** Delete prior build files.
+   Generally only needed when making changes to the rendering system itself.
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ rm -rf build
+
+3. Run the build script:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      (venv) $ make sphinx
+
+   If you don't have access to ``make``, run:
+
+   .. code-block:: ps1con
+
+      (venv) PS> python build.py
+
+   .. note::
+
+      There may be a series of warnings about unreferenced citations or labels.
+      Whilst these are valid warnings, they do not impact the build process.
+
+4. Navigate to the ``build`` directory of your PEPs repo to find the HTML pages.
+   PEP 0 provides a formatted index, and may be a useful reference.
+
+
+``build.py`` tools
+------------------
+
+Several additional tools can be run through ``build.py``, or the Makefile.
+
+
+Check links
+'''''''''''
+
+Check the validity of links within PEP sources (runs the `Sphinx linkchecker
+<https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/builders/index.html#sphinx.builders.linkcheck.CheckExternalLinksBuilder>`__).
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    (venv) $ python build.py --check-links
+    (venv) $ make check-links
+
+
+Stricter rendering
+''''''''''''''''''
+
+Run in `nit-picky <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html#confval-nitpicky>`__
+mode.
+This generates warnings for all missing references.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    (venv) $ python build.py --nitpicky
+
+Fail the build on any warning.
+As of January 2022, there are around 250 warnings when building the PEPs.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    (venv) $ python build.py --fail-on-warning
+    (venv) $ make fail-warning
+
+
+``build.py`` usage
+------------------
+
+For details on the command-line options to the ``build.py`` script, run:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    (venv) $ python build.py --help
