+Explicit JS mode
+================
+
+By default, Javascript targets are defined for every bytecode executable that
+dune knows about. This is not very precise and does not interact well with the
+``@all`` alias (eg, the ``@all`` alias will try to build JS targets
+corresponding to every ``test`` stanza). In order to better control the
+compilation of JS targets, this behaviour can be turned off by using
+``(explicit_js_mode)`` in the ``dune-project`` file.
+
+When explicit JS mode is enabled, an explicit `js` mode needs to be added to the
+``(modes ...)`` field of executables in order to trigger JS
+compilation. Explicit JS targets declared like this will be attached to the
+``@all`` alias.
+
+Starting from dune 2.0 this new behaviour will be the default and JS compilation
+of binaries will need to be explicitly declared.
