Just wanted to point out that for a while now when you type dlang into google, the summary that google puts up starts with the latin from the input to the sample code on the main page:

Standard input. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris tristique rutrum sem, nec convallis enim bibendum ut. Donec ac dolor tortor, ...

Whereas it used to have a sensible summary like 'Modelling power, native efficiency', etc. Bing doesn't do this.

Not end of the world stuff, but it looks a little hacky, maybe instead of the latin, you could use an english summary of D, I dunno.

It looks like that text is what's used as the default arguments for the
program at the top of the front page, but as far as I can tell, there's no way
to actually see that text without looking at the page's source, so the fact
that Google is showing it is rather funny. I do kind of wonder why Google
grabbed that instead of the "The D pro­gram­ming lan­guage. Mod­ern con­ve­
nience. Mod­el­ing power. Na­tive ef­fi­ciency." at the top of the page though.
Maybe it doesn't grab headers? In either case, it does make the google search
a bit weird.

Why not just preface the standard input text with the D line?

Wow that's weird!

As Jonathan said it's text for default standard input in program example.

It should grab text located in <hx> tags. Will try to fix it :)

Simple solution: paste the Website content instead of Lorem Ipsum.

Yea, that + some minor tweaks should fix that.

I will make pull request tomorrow (today, later).

Sorry for introducing that bug, it's my fault.
