    you add some files to it. Many Django apps also provide their documentation
    online through sites like `readthedocs.org <https://readthedocs.org>`_.
 
+   Many Python projects, including Django and Python itself, use `Sphinx
+   <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/quickstart.html>`_ to build

 #. Check that the :pypi:`build` package is installed (``python -m pip install
    build``) and try building your package by running ``python -m build`` inside
    ``django-polls``. This creates a directory called ``dist`` and builds your
