Yeah this should really work..
If you depend on this - `$(D_INLINECODE` might be a workaround:

or:

Macros:
  D = <code>$1</code>

this might be the same/similar issue:

    $(DDOC_EXAMPLES
        ---
        void fun(int){} // highlighted
        $(FUN) // expanded but not highlighted
        ---
     )
MACROS:
    FUN = void fun(int){}

The original intention was to keep defined macros not doing magic so you can use them to escape. In fact, if you look at the original PR, the escape $(BACKTICK) macro is defined just as =` which works because of this rule.

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/4228

However, since that is an individual `, the thing wouldn't generally be applied anyway so maybe this can change.
