digitalmars.D.announce - DDocs.org: auto-generated documentation for all DUB projects (WIP)

DDocs.org (http://ddocs.org) is a repository of documentation for 
DUB projects that automatically re-generates docs as new 
projects/releases/branch changes are added.

The idea is to make documenting D projects as simple as possible, 
to the point where you don't need to do any work to get 
documentation for your project other than adding it to the DUB 
registry. Also, users can now browse documentation for DUB 
projects even if the author was too lazy to generate it 
themselves (assuming thy did include some documentation comments).


Note that this is still in a very early stage, it was put 
together in a very quick-and-dirty style by a person with little 
webdev experience. Currently it just scans `code.dlang.org`, 
looking for changes (yes, I know, this will break as soon as 
code.dlang.org changes, I plan to raise issue/s (PRs?) to the dub 
registry project so it can have a full/stable API, but I wanted 
to get something to work *right now*.

Code is here:

* ddocs.org: https://github.com/kiith-sa/ddocs.org
* hmod-dub: https://github.com/kiith-sa/hmod-dub
* harbored-mod: https://github.com/kiith-sa/harbored-mod



Background:

When optimizing harbored-mod by testing it on big D projects 
(gtk-d, tango, vibe.d, etc.), I wrote a simple tool to 
fetch/generate docs for any DUB project; I got carried away and 
used that as base for a tool that checks for changes in the DUB 
registry and generates docs for all projects.

That is pretty cool! I will put a link to it in all my project readmes. I've noticed that License: "a$(WEB boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt, Boost License 1.0)." gets rendered as "a". Am I doing it wrong?

There's a bunch of macros used in many D projects not documented in the language reference. They seem to be defined somewhere in Phobos/Druntime (? - not sure), not really built in, but I add them as I find them so compatibility is kept. Added $WEB to harbored-mod now. There already also is LINK, LINK2, and HTTP... and of course Markdown [link](http://link.org) - but that doesn't work with plain DDoc generators. The change can take a while to propagate to your packages as ddocs.org waits a few days before regenerating docs for releases that already have docs generated and <2 days for known branches (~master) so it doesn't constantly regenerate docs for everything - it is feasible now but won't be if the DUB registry gets bigger as fast as I expect.

Right this needs to be made first class link wise on dlang.org and code.dlang.org

Awesome ! I've wanted to do it for quite some time, I think it's really important we get that as a part of code.dlang.org (as well as compatibility badges, but that's another story. Regarding the macros: I recently completed the set of definitions in libddoc ( https://github.com/economicmodeling/libddoc/commit/82fcd8fdcdfe0809437f 415361ef92ee21a5c12 ), so if you're based on Harbored, you should have everything you need. I'm currently working on a fully compliant macro parser in libddoc. The macro WEB is not part of the standard definition, it's part of dlang.org's definitions, which you can find on Github (.ddoc files). More precisely, it's defined in html.ddoc ( https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/blob/master/html.ddoc ). I guess it can make sense to had that file included by default, but at the same time I'd like to avoid projects documentation to rely on non-standard behavior.

Yes, I'm using libddoc (not current harbored directly - using a fork) so those builtin macros already work. I don't want to include all the phobos/dlang.org macros, but I will add them on case-by-case basis when people use them in their projects' docs so the docs still work.

The CSS is actually correct, I'm using display: flex for the intro/developer info. I added prefixes so it works in browsers like Safari that don't yet support the official syntax. It'll still look ugly in IE9 and older (and frankly, I don't see that as an issue). Same with the arrows/links, where I'm using transform: rotate(). Browser support for these features: http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox http://caniuse.com/#feat=transforms2d Also, added a favicon (just a png of the dlang.org favicon).
