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

    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.

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

      For the first thing, there is but I put it explicitly in Woefucks section.

      For the second, you can also use a cat to read a README written in groff and the result could be similar to reading a markdown based one, which is having difficulties to differenciate some sections which could be debatable because it is true that markdown is simpler and most HTML tags for extension purposes are known by some people.

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

      Discarding Woefucks here as it was covered before, yeah, they come. Most server OSes are custom images by IaaS providers with them.

      Main OSes in servers also come with it as result of main software used, and other times as secondary software in dependencies.

      Best example are Red Hat and Debian families. Suse one can also come with it. I work on this.

      Where you could not see it? in a Docker container using default Docker images for several OSes including Debian family. But you don’t usually check man there but in the outside OS in which you edit the source code containing that README in order to prepare your custom Docker container or image with it.

        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.

        Docker uses Alpine.

          That was there. I recognized this in Docker.

          Howerver, in Docker, Alpine is not the only nor the main provider of images nor almost the main used.

          There are quite a lot based in Debian as I use it even as base for custom images and download images using it.
