Hello all,

I've noticed that various places in Phobos docs use the WEB function, as in e.g.:

    Authors:   $(WEB erdani.org, Andrei Alexandrescu)

However, this seems to be some custom function that only works with the dlang.org website build process -- if you just run regular dmd -o- -D on the file in question, the parts in the $(WEB ...) function are just not included in the resulting HTML.

This seems a bit undesirable ... is it a bug, or is there a good reason for it, and is there any particular reason to favour WEB over, say, LINK2 ?

Thanks & best wishes,

    -- Joe
