-When you run the ``tox`` command from within the root directory of
-the ``ChatterBot`` repository it will run the following tests:
-
-1. Tests for ChatterBot's core files.
-2. Tests for ChatterBot's integration with multiple versions of Django.
-3. Tests for each of ChatterBot's example files.
-4. Tests to make sure ChatterBot's documentation builds.
-5. Code style and validation checks (linting).
-6. Benchmarking tests for performance.
-
-You can run specific tox environments using the ``-e`` flag.
-A few examples include:

-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   # Run the documentation tests
-   tox -e docs
-
-.. code-block:: bash
