sadly, there is no such thing for Opera 12. T_T

Has it been generated from an up-to-date version? Where are the sub modules of std.container?

Try http://dlang.org/library-prerelease/std/container.html -- Andrei

Apparently the links exist, but don't work, e.g. http://dlang.org/library-prerelease/std/std_container_array is not to be found. -- Andrei

Why not reuse the index built by chmgen? It's very inclusive and mostly accurate.

Many thanks to those who provided feedback on the new layout!

I've fixed a few issues, but it looks like there are quite a few more problems than I had anticipated. I encourage any and all of you to build the documentation locally (make -j should work nicely) and help with pull requests to github. Let's get this off the ground together.


Thanks,

Andrei

It works from the tree on the left.

From my last complain thread:

http://forum.dlang.org/post/zazgfoxjwhjbdrgdiiqv@forum.dlang.org

I see that many of the issues with my example got fixed.

Remaining issues:

* Overzealous linking of words in the documentation that happen to coincide with symbols in the same module. This should only be done for text in $(D ...) tags.

* Compile-time expressions are expanded to their computed variant. For example, `size_t.max` is expanded to `18446744073709551615LU`, which is not informative, and wrong on 32-bit systems. `Config.none` is now `cast(Config)0`, which sucks. I guess this is a compiler issue rather than a DDox one.

More issues I noticed now from a quick look:

* http://dlang.org/library/std/process.html :

  The comparison table is gone, replaced with an unstructured blob of text.

* http://dlang.org/library/std/parallelism.html :

  More overzealous linking (e.g.: "These include _parallel_ foreach, _parallel_ reduce, _parallel_ eager map, ...").

* http://dlang.org/library/core/time.html :

  More overzealous linking - symbols within D string literals should not be linked.

* I still have reservations about using Disqus.

Why is even std.c.* still available. These should all be replaced with core.stdc.*.

What about all those suggestions in the thread "Improving ddoc" [1]? Some of those suggestions might require to redesign the documentation. Is it still worth updating to the new layout?
