That depends on how you go about post-processing. If you design your ddoc
macros with the idea that there's going to be post-processing, then they can
convert to other ddoc macros which are designed for the post-processor to be
able to handle, and then the post-processor can convert those into another set
of macros that you run ddoc on again to get the final result. That's
essentially what I've done when using ddoc for stuff like a table of contents
or index.
Now, if the post-processing is really the last step rather than just post one
of multiple runs of ddoc, then it's stuck dealing with whatever the target
format is, but if you do multiple runs of ddoc with a separate program
operating on the intermediate results of the macro expansion and then
generating a new set of ddoc macros for another run of ddoc, then your post-
processor doesn't have to understand the target format.
Seems unnecessary complicated.
