 Specify compile options to use when compiling a given target.  The
-named <target> must have been created by a command such as
-add_executable or add_library and must not be an IMPORTED target.  If
-BEFORE is specified, the content will be prepended to the property
-instead of being appended.
+named ``<target>`` must have been created by a command such as
+:command:`add_executable` or :command:`add_library` and must not be an
+:prop_tgt:`IMPORTED Target`.  If ``BEFORE`` is specified, the content will
+be prepended to the property instead of being appended.
 
-The INTERFACE, PUBLIC and PRIVATE keywords are required to specify the
-scope of the following arguments.  PRIVATE and PUBLIC items will
-populate the COMPILE_OPTIONS property of <target>.  PUBLIC and
-INTERFACE items will populate the INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS property
-of <target>.  The following arguments specify compile options.
-Repeated calls for the same <target> append items in the order called.
+This command can be used to add any options, but
+alternative commands exist to add preprocessor definitions
+(:command:`target_compile_definitions` and :command:`add_definitions`) or
+include directories (:command:`target_include_directories` and
+:command:`include_directories`).  See documentation of the
+:prop_tgt:`directory <COMPILE_OPTIONS>` and

-Arguments to target_compile_options may use "generator expressions"
-with the syntax ``$<...>``.
