Just got around to playing with DDoc and I have some questions about macros...

1)
I was playing arond with macros but when I try

Macros:
   RED = hello red world!
   or...
   LINK = www.dsource.org

I crash the compiler :-/ Should I make another bug report? Or am I doing something horribly wrong.

2)
How would you make a bulleted list with the macros?



Thanks.

Yes.

Maybe, maybe not.. IMO it shouldn't crash regardless.

Something like:

/*********************
$(UL
    $(LI This is an item.)
    $(LI This is another item.)
)
*********************/

I really wish it were easier to make lists.  Maybe with some kind of special syntax.

To make my documentation looking less 'html'-centric I've defined two macros thus ...

  LIST = <ul>$0</ul>
  ITEM = <li>$0</li>

/*********************
$(LIST
    $(ITEM This is an item.)
    $(ITEM This is another item.)
)
*********************/

A compiler crash is *always* a compiler bug, and a bug report is apropos. I've fixed that one, by the way. To work around, add a module declaration and attach the comment with the macros: section to that.

    $(OL
        $(LI item 1)
        $(LI item 2)
        $(LI another item)
    )

OL is an "Ordered List," meaning that it will be shown with numbers (or letters, depending on the nesting level).  UL is an "Unordered List," meaning that the items technically could be shown in any order, so it is bulleted.

Right.

Ok. I'll keep that in mind.
