With https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/736, beautiful PDF generation via LaTeX is now possible.

There are, of course, many details to tend to. For starters, currently the doc is overly sparse, which makes it large (520 pages). But the basic framework is in place and works.

Who would want to give it a shot at beautifying it?

While you're waiting, would you mind to comment on

PR submitted with a couple small things[1].

I don't know how to best get wrapped text inside of tables.  Take a look at the "Escape Sequences" table currently on page 15.  Putting the text inside a minipage or similar prevents LaTeX from figuring out how wide the column should be, so that doesn't work.  Is PDF considered part of the "websites" component in the bugtracker?
