Eric Paris a6beb2e7df Autogenerate md documentation for kubectl
This does away with the giant dump from cobra for kubectl and instead
generates md files which contain similar information, but one per verb.
This might work well as part of the cobra project, instead of doing it
in kube, but this gets us nice, linked, documentation right now.  If
people like it, I will try to get something similar into cobra.

Kubernetes Documentation

This directory contains the Docker user manual in the Markdown format. Do not edit the man pages in the man1 directory. Instead, amend the Markdown (*.md) files.

Generating man pages from the Markdown files

The recommended approach for generating the man pages is via a Docker container using the supplied Dockerfile to create an image with the correct environment. This uses go-md2man, a pure Go Markdown to man page generator.

Building the md2man image

There is a Dockerfile provided in the docker/docs/man directory.

Using this Dockerfile, create a Docker image tagged docker/md2man:

docker build -t docker/md2man .

Utilizing the image

Once the image is built, run a container using the image with volumes:

docker run -v /<path-to-git-dir>/kubernetes/docs/man:/docs:rw \
-w /docs -i docker/md2man /docs/md2man-all.sh

The md2man Docker container will process the Markdown files and generate the man pages inside the docker/docs/man/man1 directory using Docker volumes. For more information on Docker volumes see the man page for docker run and also look at the article [Sharing Directories via Volumes] (http://docs.docker.com/use/working_with_volumes/).
