+
+	[docs] (2/2) Fix generation of API documentation (#56745).
+
+	Creating the API Reference in the (new) `reference' sub-directory is
+	consistent with other documentation sub-topics, such as `design',
+	`glyphs' and `tutorial'.
+
+	This patch fixes broken hyperlinks in the documentation pointing to
+	and from the API Reference.  It also allows web assets to load from
+	their relative paths.
+
+	* builds/freetype.mk (DOC_DIR): Adjust.
+	(refdoc, refdoc-venv): Add `--site' argument.
+
+	* builds/toplevel.mk (do-dist): Updated.
