Matthew Heon 2b991fa5cf Document memory limit sizing in manpages
The -m flag permits the setting of a memory limit when running a Docker
container. The actual limit set must be a multiple of page size on Linux, so
whatever number the uses passes in will be rounded up if needed. Document this
behavior to prevent confusion. Also fixed several small formatting and grammar
issues in the docker run manpage.

Docker 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, Docker will create a Fedora based container and isolate the Pandoc installation. This is a seamless process, saving you from dealing with Pandoc and dependencies on your own computer.

Building the Fedora / Pandoc image

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

Using this Dockerfile, create a Docker image tagged fedora/pandoc:

docker build  -t fedora/pandoc .

Utilizing the Fedora / Pandoc image

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

docker run -v /<path-to-git-dir>/docker/contrib/man:/pandoc:rw \
-w /pandoc -i fedora/pandoc /pandoc/md/md2man-all.sh

The Pandoc Docker container will process the Markdown files and generate the man pages inside the docker/contrib/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.io/use/working_with_volumes/).
