    <para>
      The <application>GTK-Doc</application> package contains a code
      documenter. This is useful for extracting specially formatted comments
      from the code to create API documentation. This package is
      <emphasis>optional</emphasis>; if it is not installed, packages will
      not build the documentation. This does not mean that you will not have
      any documentation. If <application>GTK-Doc</application> is not
      available, the install process will copy any pre-built documentation
      to your system.
