My main complaint about ddoc is actually not a complaint about ddoc but about html. I find it very annoying to have to put $(P ) around every paragraph. Stuff like LaTeX does that automatically based on blank lines, which is way better IMHO, but if you're targetting HTML, then unfortunately, you need to mark paragraphs. The only way to fix that with regards to ddoc would be to make it so that ddoc understood that blank lines meant new paragraphs and inserted <p></p> appropriately, when generating html, but that would make it so that ddoc was less general, and there might be other negatives to that I haven't thought of. So, we just get to deal with $(P ) I guess.
The issue with implied paragraph breaks is that then ddoc would have to get a lot smarter to avoid putting $(P ) around everything with a blank lines, and then you are already down the path of creating a markup language, not a macro language.
