digitalmars.D - Multi-word headings broken in dlang.org

reply "H. S. Teoh via Digitalmars-d" <digitalmars-d puremagic.com> writes:
Something recently broke in the dlang.org repo; now multi-word headings
are not properly rendered in HTML. See, for example:



The heading "SeeAlso" appears as a single word, whereas it should be two
words "See Also". This doesn't appear to be a bug in the source code
itself, because running dmd -D on the source file directly does not
produce this effect (the correct two-word heading is produced). Rather,
it seems to be an artifact of some kind of post-processing script in the
dlang.org repo (or perhaps in the Phobos makefile) that also introduces
anchor tags around the heading.

This needs to be fixed ASAP, as it looks *really* ugly.

That's why there is "See_Also". I agree that looks awkward, so sometimes use "References" instead.

The source code *does* use See_Also. The problem is that Andrei's macros substituted that with SeeAlso. :-P But no worries, it's all fixed now. T -- The trouble with TCP jokes is that it's like hearing the same joke over and over.
