-In addition to [graphviz output](#formatting-graphviz-output-dot-files), MIR debugging
-flags include an option to generate a MIR representation called `Spanview` that
-uses HTML to highlight code regions in the original source code and display
-compiler metadata associated with each region.
-[`-Z dump-mir-spanview`](./mir/debugging.md), for example, highlights spans
-associated with each MIR `Statement`, `Terminator`, and/or `BasicBlock`.
-
-These `.html` files use CSS features to dynamically expand spans obscured by
-overlapping spans, and native tooltips (based on the HTML `title` attribute) to
-reveal the actual MIR elements, as text.
-
-To view these files, simply use a modern browser, or a CSS-capable HTML preview
-feature in a modern IDE. (The default HTML preview pane in *VS Code* is known to
-work, for instance.)

 `-Z dump-mir=F` is a handy compiler option that will let you view the MIR for
 each function at each stage of compilation. `-Z dump-mir` takes a **filter** `F`

 By default 32 bit and 64 bit targets use the same dump files, which can be
 problematic in the presence of pointers in constants or other bit width
