new Makefile target: docs
Author: stas00
Pull request: yes

- add a new "docs" target to validate docs and document it

this is needed to avoid `build_doc` CI failures when editing docs

not sure why gh reports whitespace differences - odd.

Yes, it does. Please let me know if it's a problem for future PRs. It surely adds to the reviewer's efforts I can see :(

There must be a way to configure github ui to ignore whitespace difference in diff, right?

On user side this can be done via adding &w=1:
https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/6510/files?diff=split&w=1
or via UI: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51755490/9201239

It doesn't look as if there is a project-wide setting to do that. I looked but I don't see this option.

It looks like it was discussed here https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/issues/191, but hasn't been resolved to a completion, only providing a UI to remove whitespace manually for each PR.
