Do note, however, that troff is generally used to output PostScript or PDF files, while nroff is used for the internal manpage formatting. The GNU version, groff, combines them into one. If one makes a README meant to be read in a terminal, the following will present a formatted version to the viewer, eliminating the need to view the raw source:
man ./README
There, no markdown pager, or reading of raw markdown necessary. Do not heed those others, who speak of “accepted standards.” :P
Please, don’t use aggressive language here, no-one is attacking you.
I don’t know when i was aggressive. You can see yourself that my previous replies(before i editied last one)it contained words like Please. I only removed please when someone downvoted my whole profile without specifying any reason.
yeah, they come. Most server OSes are custom images by IaaS providers with them.
You completely ignored Alpine,Arch,Gentoo and Windows.
Where you could not see it? in a Docker container using default Docker image.

What about servers where only required softwares are installed.
If one chooses to forgo the manual pages and the manual page viewer, that’s one’s own problem to solve.
Some linux distro doesn’t come with man installed by default. This also includes windows and servers.

There is no such thing as markdown Reader. Markdown can be read by
catcommand.It doesn’t. See the link i posted in previous reply. Also windows.
This question was about Readme not documentation.
