digitalmars.D - Table not shown in http://dlang.org/library/std/process.html

There used to be a table; not anymore; the table seems flattened as text as
follows:

The following table compactly summarises the different process creation
functions and how they relate to each other: Runs program directly Runs
shell command Low-level process creation spawnProcess spawnShell Automatic
input/output redirection using pipes pipeProcess pipeShell Execute and wait
for completion, collect output execute executeShell

This would appear to be an incompatibility between the DDOC macros that the Phobos documentation uses and the new documentation generator. It's not specific to std.process; you'll see the same thing other places where the same table macro is used, e.g. for std.string.icmp: http://dlang.org/library/std/string/icmp.html AFAIK, that documentation format is just a preview. I guess there are more wrinkles that need to be ironed out before it can be considered "official". Lars

Googling for 'process site:dlang.org' for me shows: 1. dlang.org/library/std/process.html 2. dlang.org/phobos/std_process.html So the beta-quality docs sometimes appear *ahead* of the official docs in search results. We should probably fix that somehow (maybe add a temporary no-indexing hint for library/*).
