-This project's static Pages are built by [GitLab CI][ci], following the steps
-defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](.gitlab-ci.yml):
-
-```
-image: alpine:latest
-
-pages:
-  stage: deploy
-  script:
-  - echo 'Nothing to do...'
-  artifacts:
-    paths:
-    - public
-  only:
-  - master
-```
-
-The above example expects to put all your HTML files in the `public/` directory.
-
-## GitLab User or Group Pages
-
-To use this project as your user/group website, you will need one additional
-step: just rename your project to `namespace.gitlab.io`, where `namespace` is
-your `username` or `groupname`. This can be done by navigating to your
-project's **Settings**.
-
-Read more about [user/group Pages][userpages] and [project Pages][projpages].
-
-## Did you fork this project?
+![Build Status](https://gitlab.com/pages/plain-html/badges/master/build.svg)
 
-If you forked this project for your own use, please go to your project's
-**Settings** and remove the forking relationship, which won't be necessary
-unless you want to contribute back to the upstream project.
+## How to use the documentation
 
-## Troubleshooting
+1. This documentation will be served live in a short while
+2. In the meantime you may clone or download this repository and navigate to ``/public`` subdirectory. Execute ``index.html`` and the interactive documentation will become availablein your browser.
 
-1. CSS is missing! That means that you have wrongly set up the CSS URL in your
-   HTML files. Have a look at the [index.html] for an example.
