-The parsing of arguments works as follows: if it encounters a `"` or a `'`, it will continue
-until it finds the character unescaped (without a prepending `\`). If not inside a string, a
-whitespace character will also split arguments. Example:
-
-```text
-"hello 'a'\" ok" how are   'you today?'
-```
-
-will be split as follows:
-
-```text
-[
-    "hello 'a'\" ok",
-    "how",
-    "are",
-    "you today?",
-]
-```
+In order to pass multiple arguments to the underlying compiler,
+pass `--doctest-build-arg ARG` for each argument `ARG`.
