Is there a place to download the
   d2html.kwd
file that is missing for the example program
  /dmd/samples/d/d2html.d
?

I looked around for that file and couldn't find it anywhere.  So I made my own from the keyword list in the documentation ("Lexical" page). Apparently, Pavel (d2html author) driften away from D-Land months ago, and no one has updated this code.  The d2html.d program didn't seem to work correctly at first so I tinkered a bit with it.  I think the attached version works now.  I think the problem was that the syntax for dynamic strings has changed since it was written.

One thing small I noticed is that d2html doesn't like the backspace character (\) when it's not in quotes.  It complains about stuff like 'print("This is the string" ~ str ~ \t \n);'

Justin, thank you for the file. I hope that Walter will include it within dmd.zip in the next release.

I notized a problem in the streams module, readLine method, which is used this way:

	File kwd = new File("d2html.kwd");
	while (!kwd.eof())
		keywords ~= kwd.readLine();
	kwd.close();

to read the keywords each on its own line. When the last line doesn't end with an EOL, the programm faults.

You're quite welcome.  I hope Walter does include it.

Also, it gets stuck when it's run on the chello.d example.  I sure don't know why.
