Let's suppose I have a module structure:

- package.module1.core
- package.module2.core

Building documentation with dmd will generate a sigle core.html file with content related only to package.module2.core, overwriting the first one.

Is there any way that dmd can recreate directory structure for documentation, obtaining two files: package\module1\core.html and package\module2\core.html?

You could do it by compiling each module individually and giving it the appropriate target directory, but you'd have thought that it would be designed to output that way in the first place. AFAIK though, there's no way to get it to do that. And if there is in fact no such way, then I'd argue that it's quite deserving of an enhancement request:

Thanks, but I just "discovered" the "-op" command line argument who does exactly this.

I could never get this working. Have you got an example of your compiler command.

In case that's still helpful after a couple of years...:

    dmd path1/to/source.d path2/to/source.d -o- -D -Ddpath/to/doc -op

generates `path/to/doc/path1/to/source.html` and `path/to/doc/path2/to/source.html`

In my case it was a bug in rdmd that ate the flag. I corrected it in a PR ages ago which was merged so it now works! :)
