+=== Ignoring Errors
+
+Normally, if a command returns a nonzero exit status, execution will stop. To
+continue execution after a command, even if it fails, prefix the command with
+`-`:
+
+```make
+foo:
+    cat foo
+    echo 'Done!'
+```
+
+```sh
+$ just foo
+cat foo
+cat: foo: No such file or directory
+echo 'Done!'
+Done!
+```
+
 === Functions
 
 Just provides a few built-in functions that might be useful when writing recipes.
