+This project is called =hello_world=. It defines one library called
+=hello_world= and one executable called =hello_world=.
+
+The library is defined in =lib= and the executable in =bin=. It also
+defines a test in =test=.
+
+At the toplevel of the project, there is a =hello_world.opam=
+file. This file is required so that =jbuilder= knows that this is the
+=hello_world= project.
+
+To build everything that is meant to be installed in this project,
+type:
+
+#+begin_src
+$ jbuilder build @install
+#+end_src
+
+To run the tests, type:
+
+#+begin_src
+$ jbuilder runtest
+#+end_src
