If you do "make web" in the top source dir, it will build all the
web-related stuff.  All the examples in the
  input/
directory (and subdirs) takes as long to compile as the stuff in
  Documentation/user/
and for most doc work, they're not necessary.  So if you only want
the manual, do
  make web
in the Documentation/user/ directory to avoid building unnecessary
stuff.

(later on you might decide that you want the input/ stuff, but I
recommend avoiding them for now)
