What do people use to generate nice looking and simple html documentation for their projects? I would be glad (and if possible), someone could share some actual instructions rather than just tell me ddoc. For example I have seen the libmir (http://docs.mir.dlang.io/latest/index.html) and I would love to generate something similar for a project I am working on.

Thank you and best wishes.

It's not amazing, but scod and ddox is dead simple.

On phone so can't format nicely, but to your dub.json:

    "-ddoxTool" : "scod"

Then just dub build -ddox and it will generate a docs/ directory. I use GitHub pages to host mine, automatically generated and uploaded by Travis-CI on pushes.

Naturally dub build -b ddox.

This was actually done with Ddoc (author of the ddoc setup for Mir here) ;-)
See: https://github.com/libmir/mir/tree/master/doc


It uses the dlang.org Ddoc theme and customizes it a bit, but is fairly tricky to setup and maintain.
Also, it doesn't work with dub.

For a nice out of the box experience, I would recommend scod

https://github.com/MartinNowak/scod

Example project: https://github.com/MartinNowak/bloom


Also note that with dpldocs.info you'll automatically get documentation for your project once its published on the Dub registry, see e.g. https://pbackus.github.io/sumtype/sumtype.html

If you like my style <http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.simpledisplay.html> and syntax <https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/simpledisplay.d#L41> you can use my site.

If you wanna run yourself, go here: https://github.com/adamdruppe/adrdox clone that, hit make (on Linux at least) and run the program: `./doc2 /path/to/your/project`. It spits out html in a generated-docs folder.


OR if you are on the code.dlang.org dub repository, I have a server that will run it all for you by just going to

your-dub-project-name.dpldocs.info
