We just deployed Nick's work at https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/726, which enables jump-to navigation for structures. For example, from http://dlang.org/phobos/std_array.html#.Appender one can jump easily to its methods.

Thanks, Nick!

Well done! I just think that would be nice to have a link to "go back" (Like a Up Arrow on the right corner for example) of each method.

Thanks, Nick!

OTOH, there's yet more to fix. The most blatant being, can we please, pretty please with a cherry on top, REMOVE nested symbols like "front", "back", and "empty" from the blob of links at the top of the page??! They are completely meaningless when put out of the context of their containing struct/class (a module like std.range may have several "front"s, and nobody knows which one points to which), and now with Nick's fix they are also redundant.

Actually, I take that back. In this particular case "front", "empty", and friends are actually module-level UFCS functions. So actually, this is no longer a problem. Hooray! And sorry for the noise.

Agreed, a little up arrow next to the functions to take you back to the parent struct would be nice.

Thought of the same, but then figured the "Back" button works well. One other comment: the font and styling of the phrase "Jump To:" and the respective targets could be nicer - e.g. smaller and sleeker. -- Andrei

Nice!

std.datetime is a little* nicer to navigate now. (Your not guessing which toISOExtString your clicking on for example).

* I do mean a LITTLE. That module is still an enigma wrapped up in a mystery all shrouded in a veil of deceit.
