+# NAME
+f00bar - modular status panel for X11 and Wayland
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+*f00bar*
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+*f00bar* is a light-weight and configurable status panel (_bar_, for
+short) for *X* and *Wayland*.
+
+It has a number of _modules_ that provide information in the form of
+_tags_. For example, the _clock_ module has a _date_ tag that contains
+the current date.
+
+The modules do not know how to present the information though. This is
+instead done by _particles_. And the user, you, decides which
+particles (and thus how to present the data) to use.
+
+Furthermore, each particle can have a _decoration_. These are things
+like a different background, or an graphical underline.
+
+There is *no* support for images or icons. use an icon font
+(e.g. *Font Awesome*, or *Material Icons*) if you want a graphical
+representation.
+
+There are a number of modules and particles builtin. More can be added
+as plugins. You can even write your own!
+

+
+# NAME
+f00bar - configuration file
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+A f00bar configuration file is a yaml formatted document containing an
+associative array named _bar_. You may define other top-level entities
+and reference them using anchors.
+
+Besides the normal yaml types, there are a couple of f00bar specific
+types that are frequently used:
+
+- *font*: this is a string in _fontconfig_ format. Example of valid values:
+	- Font Awesome 5 Brands
+	- Font Awesome 5 Free:style=solid
+	- Dina:pixelsize=10:slant=italic
+	- Dina:pixelsize=10:weight=bold
+- *color*: an rgba hexstring; _RRGGBBAA_. Examples:
+	- ffffffff: white, no transparency
+	- 000000ff: black, no transparency
+	- 00ff00ff: green, no transparency
+	- ff000099: red, semi-transparent
