+### Emacs
+
+Emacs provides support for rust-analyzer with project-local configuration through [Eglot](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eglot/).  
+Steps for setting up Eglot with rust-analyzer can be [found here](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/manual.html#eglot).  
+Having set up Emacs & Eglot for Rust development in general, you can use the configuration for rustc provided in [`src/etc/rust_analyzer_eglot.el`].  
+Simply copy the provided file to `.dir-locals.el` in the project root directory.  
+For more information on project-specific Eglot configuration, consult [the manual](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eglot/Project_002dspecific-configuration.html).

+### Helix
+
+Helix comes with built-in LSP and rust-analyzer support.  
+It can be configured through `languages.toml`, as described [here](https://docs.helix-editor.com/languages.html).
