+Subject: [PATCH] meson: wrap html documentation generation with gtk_doc option
+
+By default, if a host environment has the `rst2html5` application
+available, builds will automatically perform some HTML documentation
+generation from the documentation's glib reference content (e.g.
+creating `gvariant-specification-1.0.html`). The creation of this
+documentation is not required for all use cases.
+
+This commit tweaks the building of the HTML-based GLIB specification
+document to be guarded by `gtk_doc`.
