troff is a simple text format, so I thought about using it for a README.

    man ./README

    eliminating the need to view the raw source

    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.

          Markdownreader pre installed

          There is no such thing as markdown Reader. Markdown can be read by cat command.

          However, manpages is something that comes preinstalled in most server OSes with a few cases out there.

          It doesn’t. See the link i posted in previous reply. Also windows.

          Sometimes it also comes as dependency of one of the software you need to install by default so, these little cases are even less.

          This question was about Readme not documentation.

              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.

              Docker uses Alpine.
