# How to read the ECMAScript specification

The [ECMAScript Language specification](https://tc39.es/ecma262/) (a.k.a. the

JavaScript specification, or ECMA-262) is a great resource for learning the

intricacies of how JavaScript works. However, it is a huge text that can be

confusing and intimidating at first.

[This document](https://timothygu.me/es-howto/) aims to make it easier to get

started with reading the ECMAScript spec.

## Helping out

The HTML document is generated using

[Bikeshed](https://tabatkins.github.io/bikeshed/), a document preprocessor. The

source file is located in `index.bs`. Feel free to improve this document by

submitting pull request that change this file.

To view the result of any changes to `index.bs`, you can locally regenerate

`index.html` by [installing](https://tabatkins.github.io/bikeshed/#installing)

Bikeshed first, and then running `make` from the project root directory.

If you do not want to install Bikeshed locally, then `make` will still work, by

uploading your local copy of `index.bs` to

[api.csswg.org](https://api.csswg.org/bikeshed/) which will then run Bikeshed

remotely. This process may produce a slightly different output than locally

installed Bikeshed, as it does not take into account the customized `.include`

files.
