One very important section number is 5 - it's for file formats. So if you forget the crontab format, you need to invoke `man 5 crontab` to read about it.
Step 2: Feel the urge to write an article about that
Writing down what you learn cements knowledge, and sharing what you write might help someone else.
Perhaps the modern version of "man" should be a program you can talk to.
