-# Command-line commands
-
-There are two different ways of invoking Meson. First, you can run it directly
-from the source tree with the command `/path/to/source/meson.py`. Meson may
-also be installed in which case the command is simply `meson`. In this manual
-we only use the latter format for simplicity.
-
-Meson is invoked using the following syntax:
-`meson [COMMAND] [COMMAND_OPTIONS]`
-
-This section describes all available commands and some of their Optional arguments.
-The most common workflow is to run [`setup`](#setup), followed by [`compile`](#compile), and then [`install`](#install).
-
-For the full list of all available options for a specific command use the following syntax:
-`meson COMMAND --help`
-

-### compile
-
-*(since 0.54.0)*
-
-```
-$ meson compile [-h] [--clean] [-C BUILDDIR] [-j JOBS] [-l LOAD_AVERAGE]
- [--verbose] [--ninja-args NINJA_ARGS] [--vs-args VS_ARGS]
- [TARGET [TARGET ...]]
-```
-
-Builds a default or a specified target of a configured meson project.
-
-```
-positional arguments:
- TARGET Targets to build. Target has the
- following format: [PATH_TO_TARGET/]TARGE
- T_NAME[:TARGET_TYPE].
-
-optional arguments:
- -h, --help show this help message and exit
- --clean Clean the build directory.
- -C BUILDDIR The directory containing build files to

-```
-
-`--verbose` argument is available since 0.55.0.
-
-#### Targets
-
-*(since 0.55.0)*
-
-`TARGET` has the following syntax `[PATH/]NAME[:TYPE]`, where:
-- `NAME`: name of the target from `meson.build` (e.g. `foo` from `executable('foo', ...)`).
-- `PATH`: path to the target relative to the root `meson.build` file. Note: relative path for a target specified in the root `meson.build` is `./`.
-- `TYPE`: type of the target. Can be one of the following: 'executable', 'static_library', 'shared_library', 'shared_module', 'custom', 'run', 'jar'.
-
-`PATH` and/or `TYPE` can be ommited if the resulting `TARGET` can be used to uniquely identify the target in `meson.build`.
-
-#### Backend specific arguments
-
-*(since 0.55.0)*
-
-`BACKEND-args` use the following syntax:
-
-If you only pass a single string, then it is considered to have all values separated by commas. Thus invoking the following command:
-
-```
-$ meson compile --ninja-args=-n,-d,explain
-```
-
-would add `-n`, `-d` and `explain` arguments to ninja invocation.
-
-If you need to have commas or spaces in your string values, then you need to pass the value with proper shell quoting like this:
-
-```
-$ meson compile "--ninja-args=['a,b', 'c d']"
-```
-
-#### Examples:
-
-Build the project:
-```
-meson compile -C builddir
-```
-
-Execute a dry run on ninja backend with additional debug info:
-```
-meson compile --ninja-args=-n,-d,explain
-```
-
-Build three targets: two targets that have the same `foo` name, but different type, and a `bar` target:
-```
-meson compile foo:shared_library foo:static_library bar
-```
-
-Produce a coverage html report (if available):
-```
-meson compile coverage-html
-```
-
-### dist

-*(since 0.52.0)*
-
-```
-$ meson dist [-h] [-C WD] [--formats FORMATS] [--include-subprojects]

+Meson is invoked using the following syntax:

+This section describes all available commands and some of their Optional arguments.
+The most common workflow is to run [`setup`](#setup), followed by [`compile`](#compile), and then [`install`](#install).
+
+For the full list of all available options for a specific command use the following syntax:
+`meson COMMAND --help`
+
+### configure
+
+```
+{{ cmd_help['configure']['usage'] }}
+```
+
+Changes options of a configured meson project.
+
+```
+{{ cmd_help['configure']['arguments'] }}

+
+Most arguments are the same as in [`setup`](#setup).
+
+Note: reconfiguring project will not reset options to their default values (even if they were changed in `meson.build`).

+
+`BACKEND-args` use the following syntax:
+
+If you only pass a single string, then it is considered to have all values separated by commas. Thus invoking the following command:
+
+```
+$ meson compile --ninja-args=-n,-d,explain
+```
+
+would add `-n`, `-d` and `explain` arguments to ninja invocation.
+
+If you need to have commas or spaces in your string values, then you need to pass the value with proper shell quoting like this:
+
+```
+$ meson compile "--ninja-args=['a,b', 'c d']"
+```
+
+#### Examples:
+
+Build the project:
+```
+meson compile -C builddir
+```
+
+Execute a dry run on ninja backend with additional debug info:
+```
+meson compile --ninja-args=-n,-d,explain
+```
+
+Build three targets: two targets that have the same `foo` name, but different type, and a `bar` target:
+```
+meson compile foo:shared_library foo:static_library bar
+```
+
+Produce a coverage html report (if available):
+```
+meson compile coverage-html
+```
