Hello,
Currently on the DDoc project (on dsource.org) which I am writing code
for right now, I got struck on one specific problem. I have a question
regarding colons and brackets (accolades).
If I specify code as the following it all goes OK:
-- code --
private:
public {
}
public:
package:
public static {
}
extern(C):
extern(Pascal) {
}
-- end code --
This can be translated into the following:
--- code ---
private {
public {
}
}
public {
}
package {
public static {
}
}
extern(C) {
}
extern(Pascal) {
}
--- end code ---
But I am not sure how D acts on the "version" statement. The following
works quite well:
--- code ---
version(SomeVersion) {
private:
public {
}
public:
package:
public static {
}
extern(C):
extern(Pascal) {
}
}
--- end code ---
This translates to:
--- code ---
version(SomeVersion) {
private {
public {
}
}
public {
}
package {
public static {
}
}
extern(C) {
}
extern(Pascal) {
}
}
--- end code ---
But how should the following be translated?
--- code ---
version(SomeVersion):
private:
public {
}
public:
package:
public static {
}
extern(C):
extern(Pascal) {
}
--- end code ---
Should it translate as:
--- code ---
version(SomeVersion) {
private {
public {
}
}
public {
}
package {
public static {
}
}
extern(C) {
}
extern(Pascal) {
}
}
--- end code ---
or as:
--- code ---
version(SomeVersion) {
}
private {
public {
}
}
public {
}
package {
public static {
}
}
extern(C) {
}
extern(Pascal) {
}
--- end code ---

[snip] I don't know, but I've made the decision to only use braces in my code and thus avoid any ambiguities or 'accidents'. Mixing colons and braces is just asking for trouble, IMO. -- Derek Melbourne, Australia

Well it is for a general documentation tool. So even if I am at your side, others may not be... Regards, Sjoerd
