The Sphinx theme can be overridden by using the ``DOCS_THEME`` make variable.

+There is another make variable ``SPHINXDIRS``, which is useful when test
+building a subset of documentation. For example, you can build documents
+under ``Documentation/doc-guide`` by running
+``make SPHINXDIRS=doc-guide htmldocs``.
+The documentation section of ``make help`` will show you the list of
+subdirectories you can specify.

To remove the generated documentation, run ``make cleandocs``.
