+Generating XML files
+--------------------
+
+The editor can generate XML files from your documentation comments, which can be useful to create
+an online documentation. To generate the XML files, you can execute the following command from your
+project's root folder:
+
+::
+
+    godot --doctool <destination> --gdscript-docs <path>
+
+The XML files will be generated in the ``<destination>`` folder, or ``docs`` if omitted.
+The target ``<path>`` specifies which scripts will be included, and Godot will recursively generate
+XML files for all scripts in this folder and all subfolders.
+
+.. warning::
+
+    ``<path>`` must start with ``res://``, otherwise Godot will not be able to find scripts!
