I just pushed the first passable PDF documentation generated via LaTeX

Take a look at the generated PDF: http://erdani.com/d/dlangspec.pdf

Looks good to me.
I should add this is a rather large success story for ddoc. This is the
first time ddoc has been used to generate a format that has nothing to
do with HTML. LaTeX is different enough from HTML and finicky enough so
we can claim if generating this was possible, pretty much any format is
approachable.
It's also good to keep in mind that when I prepared the kindle version,
which has a small screen, I had to rather ruthlessly pare down the
length of preformatted lines like the code examples.
Yah, for this proof of concept I'm using the stock article interior
design. The production version should include beautiful PDFs designed
purposefully for the Kindle.
In fact I just uploaded a Kindle-specialized pdf. I don't have the
Kindle on me so I went blindly. Take a look and let me know!

Formatting code and tables will be a challenge but nothing really difficult.
