2009-09-15Add new Documentation section for manpages
Only "unicorn(1)" is documented right now, but more will be added. Manpages are written Markdown since it's easy to write, easy to read (in source form) and a widely-implemented format. As of September 2009, pandoc is the only Markdown processor I know of capable of turning Markdown into manpages. So despite adding a dependency on Haskell (not yet very common these days) for documentation, the features and performance of pandoc+Markdown outweigh the drawbacks compared to other lightweight markup systems.
