+@name  Developer Guide: Initializing Angular: Manual Initialization
+@description
+
+
+Letting angular handle the initialization process (bootstrapping) is a handy way to start using
+angular, but advanced users who want more control over the initialization process can choose to use
+the manual bootstrapping method instead.
+
+
+The best way to get started with manual bootstrapping is to look at the what happens when you use
+{@link api/angular.directive.ng:autobind ng:autobind}, by showing each step of the process
+explicitly.
+
+
+<pre>
+<!doctype html>
+<html xmlns:ng="http://angularjs.org">
+<head>
+  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.angularjs.org/angular.js"
+            ng:autobind></script>
+  <script type="text/javascript">
+     (angular.element(document).ready(function() {
+       angular.compile(document)();
+     })(document);
+  </script>
+</head>
+<body>
+Hello {{'World'}}!
+</body>
+</html>
+</pre>
+
+
+This is the sequence that your code should follow if you bootstrap angular on your own:
+
+
+1. After the page is loaded, find the root of the HTML template, which is typically the root of
+the document.
+2. Run angular's {@link dev_guide.compiler Angular HTML compiler}, which converts a template into
+an executable, bi-directionally bound application.
