+Building DTS API docs
+---------------------
+
+To build DTS API docs, install the dependencies with Poetry, then enter its shell:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+   poetry install --with docs
+   poetry shell
+
+
+Build commands
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The documentation is built using the standard DPDK build system.
+
+After entering Poetry's shell, build the documentation with:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+   ninja -C build dts/doc
+
+The output is generated in ``build/doc/api/dts/html``.
+
+.. Note::
+
+   Make sure to fix any Sphinx warnings when adding or updating docstrings.
