Is ddoc intended to generate css?
Yes. Ddoc is a general preprocessing engine, much like m4
discussed in the article I mentioned.
I had a very hard time to get used to Ddoc and all the custom D
macros, but still I think the idea of shipping such a general
engine with the compiler is great. However we should make it more
powerful then. Can't we allow CTFE in Ddoc?
This would help a lot!
I have made a couple of improvement's to the dlang.org, but they
all are JS "post-processing" hacks, because at the moment one
can't do this in Ddoc
See e.g.
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1288 (adding anchors)
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1307 (showing list of
contributors)
A lot of other stuff (LaTeX support, search index, grouped
overview menu etc.) would also be possible then.
