Hi !

I'm looking for a way to display a basic HTML page layout for my
code documentation on mouse hover, but I cannot find anything
about this...

The fact is that currently, the summary on hover is awful, the
HTML tags are displayed as plain text ; the output looks like
that:
"
public void myFunction(int param1)
The function summary
<b>Params</b>
param1 The param description


<b>Returns</b>
The return infos
"

Is there a way to have a basic HTML interpretation for VisualD,
like in JavaDoc with Eclipse ?

Thanks !

Unfortunately there seems no way to make VS display formatted text within it's tooltips. I guess other language services are reimplementing them to achieve that.

I have recently added some simple Ddoc replacements here: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald/blob/master/stdext/ddocmacros.d#L205

Some more could be added, but only text, so for example $(B text) can be converted to *text*. (I assume you have added the html tags yourself and have not used the corresponding Ddoc macros).
