I have looked at http://dlang.org/ddoc.html and http://qznc.github.io/d-tut/documentation.html and have some idea about how to write the text that will eventually become the document. But I have no clue as to go from the input file with Ddoc comments to the final document. I am on Windows 7, 64 bit; I have not installed anything related to the D Programming Language yet. I usually develop in C/C++ and my present interest is in commenting C/C++ code with Ddoc comments and ending up with the documentation. So what do I need to install and where can I find an example of generating documentation for a hello world program?
Ddoc itself is provided as part of the D compiler. For usage with D source code. There is no form of preprocessor to my knowledge that you could utilise.
Its too heavily tied into D's frontend to be usable from other languages. At this point I don't think you can get the power of Ddoc without using D itself.
