+<h1>i3bar</h1>
+
+<p>
+ i3bar is an xcb- and libev-based status- and workspace-bar. It is best
+ thought of as an replacement for the old <tt>i3-wsbar(1)</tt> +
+ <tt>dzen2(1)</tt>-combination. It creates a workspace-bar for every active
+ output ("screen") and displays a piped in statusline rightaligned on every
+ bar.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ It does not sample any status-information itself, so you still need a program
+ like <tt>i3status(1)</tt> or <tt>conky(1)</tt> for that.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ i3bar does not support any color or other markups, so stdin should be plain
+ utf8, one line at a time. If you use <tt>i3status(1)</tt>, you therefore
+ should specify 'output_format = none' in the general section of its config
+ file.
