\description{
This creates the output directory (\code{docs/}), a machine readable description
of the site, and copies CSS/JS assets and extra files.
}
\section{Build-ignored files}{

We recommend using \code{\link[usethis:use_pkgdown]{usethis::use_pkgdown()}} to build-ignore \code{docs/} and
\code{_pkgdown.yml}. If use another directory, or create the site manually,
you'll need to add them to \code{.Rbuildignore} yourself. A \code{NOTE} about
an unexpected file during \code{R CMD CHECK} is an indication you have not
correctly ignored these files.
}

\section{Custom CSS/JS}{

If you want to do minor customisation of your pkgdown site, the easiest
way is to add \code{pkgdown/extra.css} and \code{pkgdown/extra.js}. These
will be automatically copied to \code{docs/} and inserted into the
\code{<HEAD>} after the default pkgdown CSS and JS.
}

\section{Favicon}{

You should manually run \code{\link[=build_favicon]{build_favicon()}} once to generate the favicon set
from your logo. The result is stored in \code{pkgdown/favicon} and will
automatically be copied to the relevant location when you run \code{\link[=init_site]{init_site()}}.
