+      <p>Simple programs can be built with {#syntax#}zig
+      build-exe{#endsyntax#} and {#syntax#}zig build-lib{#endsyntax#},
+      but running those commands manually gets tedious and error
+      prone. Zig's build system lets you keep all the command line
+      switches and build modes in one place. It has no external
+      dependencies, so Zig code can be built on any platform without
+      installing more programs.</p>
+      <p>To use the build system, run 
+      <code class="shell">$ zig build [command]</code>
+      where {#syntax#}[command]{#endsyntax#} is an optional target,
+      configured by your build.zig file. There is more detail
