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 
?

No, that's just a random file. If something isn't linked from 
another page, it isn't supported... I have a lot of files in that 
directory from various steps in my development process (it is 
still called "experimental" cuz it isn't done yet) and I haven't 
cleaned them all up.

Thanks for your good work. I will file a bug report then.

Or if both directories are intented to be used, I'll file a bug 
instead.


yeah that is prolly best

[dlang library documentation] Why there are dlang.org/library and dlang.org/phobos?

[Johann via Digitalmars-d-learn]

It seems that std library documentation lives in two different 
directories.


https://dlang.org/phobos/

https://dlang.org/library/

Maybe it's due to historical reasons. Problem is, when I search 
for a library function in Google, sometimes it points me to 
library directory, and sometimes it points me to phobos directory.


In fact, when I search "dlang writef", it shows me two urls most 
relevant.


1. https://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/writef.html

2. https://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html

Clicking "format string" hyperlink on first url gives a 404 
error. 
https://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/std_format.html#format-string


The second url is correct. 
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_format.html#format-string


Is https://dlang.org/library/ deprecated? If so, is it possible 
to remove it so that it won't confuse noobs like me?


Or if both directories are intented to be used, I'll file a bug 
instead.
