+On NERSC, you can conveniently make use of their
+`web Science Gateway <https://docs.nersc.gov/services/science-gateways/#web-methods-for-data>`_
+to avoid transferring data.  By copying your compiled documentation to
+an appropriately named subdirectory at
+``/global/cfs/cdirs/<myproj>/www/`` and then running ``chmod -R ugo+rX .`` on that directory
+(and perhaps its parent directories), it can then be viewed from a browser at
+``https://portal.nersc.gov/cfs/<myproj>/``.
