[issue12415] Missing: How to checkout the Doc sources

[Philip Olson]

New submission from Philip Olson <philip at roshambo.org>:

I was unable to determine how to download the Python documentation source files (for building via Sphinx) but did figure out the following:

   hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython
   cd cpython/Doc
   make html

Where to get the Doc sources deserves a mention here:

   http://docs.python.org/dev/documenting/building.html

I don't know this topic so won't propose a patch, but building.txt should mention where/how to get 'Doc' before the 'cd Doc' example.
