I've found myself using dman more than I thought I would, but it is a little annoying when it fails to find a page and I navigate to it manually -- I wouldn't mind if I could improve dman for the next release.

Perhaps a text file on GitHub we could submit pull requests to?

Thanks,

I decided against a text file that dman reads because, inevitably, people will have problems with dman not finding that file, or finding the wrong one, etc. I thought it would be more bulletproof if it was a standalone executable.

Definitely its internal database, though, is too small.

Eventually, it should have everything in it that has an html anchor name on the web site.

Couldn't it be a text file that is compiled in with import()? Or a d file with a single function containing add(name, url); for each entry. Some stand alone and easy to read/edit.

It already does that to some extent.
