    <h2>Useful development URLs</h2>
    <p>
        Below is a list of useful tools and data sets available only in the Zulip
        development environment that are often useful when contributing to Zulip.
        Most of these require you to run a command to build/generate the relevant
        content. This table specifies which command to use to update the data served
        by each page (since several of these, like test coverage, require a special
        command to be run to generate the data). Make sure your development server is still running
        when you visit these!
