What's the best way to generate HTML from a snippet of Ddoc? I've extracted the Ddoc from a symbol using DCD and would like to display it in a text editor. Ideally it should be a command line tool.

dmd generates html from dd files; example: https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/blob/master/download.dd

Thanks, I didn't know that. It's not ideal, it adds some other tags that I would like to avoid, i.e. "Page generated by Ddoc", but it works.

those are in the macro definition file, you can make your own and simplify/improve.

I replaced the DDOC macro with my own version, that worked fine. Thanks.

Unfortunately it looks like Standard Sections [1] are not handled in the same way as when generating documentation from D source files. They're handled just as any other text.
