+Emscripten (WebAssembly)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To build for WebAssembly using Emscripten, try::
+
+ CXX=em++ ./configure.py --cc=clang --cpu=llvm --os=emscripten
+ make
+
+This will produce bitcode files ``botan-test.bc`` and ``botan.bc``
+along with a static archive ``libbotan-2.a`` which can linked with
+other modules. To convert the tests into a WASM file which can be
+executed on a browser, use::
+
+ em++ -s ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1 -s DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0 -s WASM=1 \
+ --preload-file src/tests/data botan-test.bc -o botan-test.html
