| Where to start? | ||
| =============== | ||
|
|
||
| The :term:`project` must contain a ``pyproject.toml`` file at the root of its source tree | ||
| that contains a ``[build-system]`` table like so: | ||
|
|
||
| .. code:: toml | ||
|
|
||
| [build-system] | ||
| requires = ["setuptools"] | ||
| build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| This is the standardized method of letting :term:`build frontends <Build Frontend>` know | ||
| that :ref:`setuptools` is the :term:`build backend <Build Backend>` for this project. |

I would note here that adding this enables built-time isolation by default which naturally leads into the next section (build-time dependencies).
Somewhere lower down there could be a section specifically about build isolation and how to disable it when using pip or build. That section could also say why you might want to disable build isolation e.g. to pin the versions of build requirements.

| ======================================== | ||
|
|
||
| Yes. This is strongly recommended. | ||
| The presence of a ``pyproject.toml`` file itself does not bring much. |

Could you use the :file: role for these?
| How to handle packaging metadata? | ||
| ================================= | ||
|
|
||
| All static metadata can be moved to a ``[project]`` table in the ``pyproject.toml`` file. |

Maybe link to the Declaring project metdata spec here?
