If your problem or idea is not addressed yet, [please open a new issue](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/new). ## Documentation Bootstrap's documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at . The docs may also be run locally. ### Running documentation locally 1. Run through the [tooling setup](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/v4-dev/docs/getting-started/build-tools.md#tooling-setup) to install Jekyll (the site builder) and other Ruby dependencies with `bundle install`. 2. Run `grunt` (or a specific set of Grunt tasks) to rebuild distributed CSS and JavaScript files, as well as our docs assets. 3. From the root `/bootstrap` directory, run `bundle exec jekyll serve` in the command line. 4. Open in your browser, and voilà. Learn more about using Jekyll by reading its [documentation](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/home/). ### Documentation for previous releases Documentation for v2.3.2 has been made available for the time being at while folks transition to Bootstrap 3.
