+### `base_path`
+
+`base_path` controls the URL prefix prepended to all generated links, CSS/JS paths, and redirects.
+
+| Value | Use case |
+|---|---|
+| `"/my-project"` | GitHub Pages (`https://user.github.io/my-project/`) |
+| `""` | Local development at `http://localhost:8000/` |
+
+Leave empty for local-only use; set to `"/<repo-name>"` before deploying to GitHub Pages.
+
+### `highlight`

 When `theme_light` is set, code blocks are rendered twice (dark and light) and toggled via CSS classes `.code-dark` / `.code-light`.
 
 Available themes: `base16-ocean.dark`, `base16-ocean.light`, `base16-eighties.dark`, `base16-mocha.dark`, `InspiredGitHub`, `Solarized (dark)`, `Solarized (light)`.

+
+## Local Debugging vs GitHub Pages
+
+To preview locally with the same URL structure as GitHub Pages, set `base_path = "/cpp-httplib"` in `config.toml`, then:
+
+```bash
+./docs-gen/target/release/docs-gen docs-src --out /tmp/test/cpp-httplib
+cd /tmp/test && python3 -m http.server
+# Open http://localhost:8000/cpp-httplib/

+For a plain local preview (no prefix), set `base_path = ""` and open `http://localhost:8000/`.
