+@defvr {Scheme Variable} texlive-build-system
+This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system texlive)}. It is
+used to build TeX packages in batch mode with a specified engine. The
+build system sets the @code{TEXINPUTS} variable to find all TeX source
+files in the inputs.
+
+By default it runs @code{luatex} on all files ending on @code{ins}. A
+different engine and format can be specified with the
+@code{#:tex-format} argument. Different build targets can be specified
+with the @code{#:build-targets} argument, which expects a list of file
+names. The build system adds only @code{texlive-bin} and
+@code{texlive-latex-base} (both from @code{(gnu packages tex}) to the
+inputs. Both can be overridden with the arguments @code{#:texlive-bin}
+and @code{#:texlive-latex-base}, respectively.
+
+The @code{#:tex-directory} parameter tells the build system where to
+install the built files under the texmf tree.
