+This contains the nng documentation for API users.
+
+The documentation is written in asciidoc in the form of man pages. It is
+automatically formatted for display on the website.
+
+It is possible to emit TROFF sources for use by the UNIX man page, and HTML
+for online viewing. asciidoctor supports PDF and EPUB formats via plugins,
+so there are still more options available.
+
+The man pages are in the "man" directory. The reason those are separate
+is that they get special treatment. Other documentation is located here.
