+To create the documentation locally, run the following commands:
 
+### 1. Clone the ITKDoxygen Repository
+
+### 2. Build the Docker Image
 ```shell
-docker build --build-arg TAG=v1.1.0 . -f Dockerfile -t itk-doxygen
-docker build -f Dockerfile -t itk-doxygen .
+docker build . -f Dockerfile -t itk-doxygen
+```
 
-export TAG=v1.2.0
-docker run --env TAG --name itk-dox itk-doxygen
+### 3. Export TAG Environment Variable
+The `TAG` environment variable is used to specify a filename for the tarballs 
+to be copied from the Docker container to your local working directory (see 
+[step 5](#5-copy-the-doxygen-documentation)).
+Useful for naming multiple versions of the documentation.
+
+Here we have set it to *alpha*, but you may change it as needed.
+```shell
+export TAG=alpha
 ```
 
-or
+### 4. Run the Docker Container
+#### Option 1: Using the Latest ITK Repository
+```shell
+docker run --env TAG --name itk-dox itk-doxygen
+```
 
+#### Option 2: Using a Local ITK Repository
+If you want to build documentation from a local ITK repository, 
+remove the `readonly` parameter from the mount command and 
+specify an absolute path to the aforementioned repository.
 ```shell
 docker run \
   --env TAG \
-  --mount type=bind,source=!ITK,destination=/work/ITK,readonly \
+  --mount type=bind,source=/path/to/your/clone,destination=/work/ITK,readonly \
   --name itk-dox itk-doxygen
+```
+> **Note:** Both these commands may take a while to complete
 
+### 5. Copy the Doxygen Documentation
+
+The following commands will copy the tarballs from the
+Docker container to your local working directory.
+```shell
 docker cp itk-dox:/ITKDoxygen.tar.gz SimpleITKDoxygen${TAG:+-${TAG}}.tar.gz
 docker cp itk-dox:/ITKDoxygenXML.tar.gz SimpleITKDoxygenXML${TAG:+-${TAG}}.tar.gz
+
+# Remove the Docker container after copying the tarballs
 docker rm itk-dox
 ```
+
+### 6. Extract the Doxygen Documentation
+Untar these tarballs to extract and verify the Doxygen documentation. 
+The `SimpleITKDoxygen` tarball contains the HTML documentation,
+while the `SimpleITKDoxygenXML` tarball contains the XML documentation.
+
+```shell
+tar -xzf SimpleITKDoxygen${TAG:+-${TAG}}.tar.gz
+tar -xzf SimpleITKDoxygenXML${TAG:+-${TAG}}.tar.gz
+```
+
+You may now view the Doxygen documentation by opening the `html/index.html` file.
