It's actually "future" reasons... the /phobos is the original 
one, and /library was supposed to replace it, but now many 
years later, /library is still kinda neglected and they both 
just exist.


What's needed to remove the "/phobos" one? Is it a decision 
from on-high, or is there a lot of editing of hardcoded links 
required?


This discussion and the referenced news group thread should 
give insights:

Thank you!

This is a reason why I forked the d docs to my site 
dpldocs.info. Check out its search:


http://dpldocs.info/writef

But yeah, the link in the original source is hardcoded for the 
/phobos path... but is also a relative link. So when generated 
on /library, it is just a 404. On my fork, I just fixed it, but 
/library tries to build from the master branch so they can't 
really just fix things without making sure it still works in 
both generators. what a mess.


I'm not sure I understand. What would it take to make the 
"/library" pages good enough that you wouldn't need 
?

Nice! Thanks, Nick!

Re: Emacs d-mode indentation, 2 spaces to 4?

I can't imagine it has its own tab width. d-mode is based on 
cc-mode. Setting the tab width in that mode or in general 
should work for d-mode as well.


Just research tab width for Emacs. If nothing else works and 
you're happy with a global tab-width of 4, add this to your 
.emacs file:


(setq-default tab-width 4)

Thank you, but tried this and it didn't work. Aravinda's solution 
worked though.

Add below snippet to your .emacs file

(add-hook 'd-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
(setq c-basic-offset 4)
(setq tab-width 4)))



That did it! Thanks, Aravinda!

Andrei's "The D Programming Language" book. Up to date?

[John Gabriele via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hi all,

This is my first message to this forum. And what a pleasure it is 
to be here. :)


I was just looking around at what D books are available. I see 
that Andrei's "The D Programming Language" was published in 2010. 
What's changed in the language, library, and community since then 
that I should be aware of if following along with and learning 
from that book?


Incidentally, is a new edition is on its way any time soon?

Thanks!
