I've submitted a couple of pull request to fix some dlang.org's documentation, using github's web editor. The changes were simple, so I really didn't need to render the .dd file to verify my changes. However, if I make a larger change, I'd like to be able to see the end result as readers will see it.

How can I render the .dd files to html?

Thanks,

The makefiles have an "html" target for running DDoc. There's a std.ddoc file with macros in the dlang.org repository that the phobos docs references so you'll want to ensure the paths between phobos and dlang.org are right in the makefile (I believe DOCSRC defaults to "../dlang.org"). Once you are sure the paths are good, just run:

make -f {posix.mak/win32.mak} html (choose the right makefile for your platform)

Oh, and if I remember correctly the target puts the results in an odd location (at least on Windows). Something like ../../phobos so you may want to check and change that before you generate them.
