Hi Craig!
    That's a good question. I just looked and it doesn't seem like
GitHub natively renders *roff, but that would be a nice feature to
have; I just opened https://github.com/github/markup/issues/342 to
track the feature request.
    Would it be a good idea to check in the rendered documentation as
part of Travis CI to a doc tree under GitHub? That seems to be what
some other projects do.
Thanks!
