Currently we use one HTML file per module. It's worth considering switching to a format fostering one file per entity (function, struct, class).

While it might be a decent option, I like the one file per module approach, one reason being you can search it more easily, using the built in browser text search.

Though, I've been kinda leaning toward doing my own ddoc impl with the json output anyway, which can do all kinds of organization, making dynamic pages out of it. However, like just about everything non-work I do though, it isn't finished yet!

http://dpldocs.info/std.stdio

Anyway though I like the ddoc how it is now because it is simple too. So if we change it, I think the existing behavior should at least still be available.

There's the wonderful ddox: https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/ddox

Phobos:
http://vibed.org/temp/phobos/index.html

I don't understand why don't you:
1. Replace ddoc with it.
2. Use it on dlang.org for Phobos documentation.

ddox is indeed the prime candidate for this.

From http://forum.dlang.org/post/kdl45o$30ak$1@digitalmars.com

== online documentation ==
When I returned to D I felt very frustrated with D online documentation.
After looking for root of the feeling i found that the reason was that
I was used to the documentation of php.
In php each function have a page of it own. (Closely resembling the unix
man page)
This means that if I search for "php strip" google send me to
http://php.net/manual/en/function.trim.php

Where the first line tells me:
trim — Strip whitespace (or other characters) from the beginning and end
of a string

So It is very fast to see if I got the right page.

If I search for "dlang strip" I am send to
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_string.html.
Then I have to look through the document to find the right function
and to find that functions typical is missing examples and good
descriptions of parameters and return values.

(I think that the example part can be improved by automatic including
unittest in the documentation,
which would also insure that the examples is working.)
(When documents is generated ddoc could test for if description for
parameters and return values was present)

Also another thing I like about the php documentation is the user notes
at the bottom of the page,
I know you are trying to make something simmilar with the "Improve this
page" and "Page wiki" at the top,
but I have to say that I don't think it works as well.
