-### Generate the man pages
+### Per-page front-matter
-For information on generating man pages (short for manual page), see the README.md
-document in [the man page directory](https://github.com/docker/docker/tree/master/man)
-in this project.
+The front-matter of a given page is in a section at the top of the Markdown
+file that starts and ends with three hyphens. It includes YAML content. The
+following keys are supported. The title, description, and keywords are required.
+
+| Key | Required | Description |
+|------------------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------|
+| title | yes | The page title. This is added to the HTML output as a `
` level header. |
+| description | yes | A sentence that describes the page contents. This is added to the HTML metadata. |
+| keywords | yes | A comma-separated list of keywords. These are added to the HTML metadata. |
+| redirect_from | no | A YAML list of pages which should redirect to THIS page. At build time, each page listed here is created as a HTML stub containing a 302 redirect to this page. |
+| notoc | no | Either `true` or `false`. If `true`, no in-page TOC is generated for the HTML output of this page. Defaults to `false`. Appropriate for some landing pages that have no in-page headings.|
+| toc_min | no | Ignored if `notoc` is set to `true`. The minimum heading level included in the in-page TOC. Defaults to `2`, to show `` headings as the minimum. |
+| toc_max | no | Ignored if `notoc` is set to `false`. The maximum heading level included in the in-page TOC. Defaults to `3`, to show `` headings. Set to the same as `toc_min` to only show `toc_min` level of headings. |
+| tree | no | Either `true` or `false`. Set to `false` to disable the left-hand site-wide navigation for this page. Appropriate for some pages like the search page or the 404 page. |
+| no_ratings | no | Either `true` or `false`. Set to `true` to disable the page-ratings applet for this page. Defaults to `false`. |
+
+The following is an example of valid (but contrived) page metadata. The order of
+the metadata elements in the front-matter is not important.
