How to generate rustdoc documentation for the [build-dependencies] in Cargo.toml?

Question

I am working on a small project that uses a build.rs file intensively. It seems that cargo doc --all generates the documentation for the [dependencies] but not for the [build-dependencies] in Cargo.toml.

How can I generate the offline documentation for the build-dependency crates?

`--all` is unneeded unless you have a workspace – Shepmaster Aug 07 '18 at 14:40 — Shepmaster, Aug 07 '18 at 14:40

You cannot:

Optionally document dev-dependencies (3475)

In the meantime, move it temporarily to [dependencies] to generate the docs or make a new project just for docs.
