digitalmars.D - The ugly truth about ddoc

==================

So I was looking at the css today (original at 
http://paste.ofcode.org/fHGT24YASrWu3rnMYLdm4C taken from the zip at 
http://cssmenumaker.com/menu/modern-jquery-accordion-menu) and it was 
quite unwieldy to experiment with. For example, the same color appears 
hardcoded in a number of places; whenever changing one I'd need to 
change all, or miss some important instances (as it happened with my 
first experiment).

I'm sure experts must have tools for allowing things like variables and 
macros for css creation. Indeed there are a number of CSS editors that 
features things like variables, substitutions, and code generations, but 
most come at a cost and require quite some involvement.

So I slapped something much simpler together using... ddoc.

1. I aded this at the top of the original file:

Ddoc

and then this at the bottom:

Macros:

DDOC=$(BODY)
DDOC_COMMENT=/*$0*/
ESCAPES=/</</ />/>/ /&/&/

then saved the file as cssmenu.css.dd. Now I suddenly had a file 
compilable with ddoc, which produced itself (sans the heading and the 
macros). Here's the cmdline:

dmd -c -o- -Dfweb/css/cssmenu.css css/cssmenu.css.dd

It's a bit of a bummer that I need to define three unintuitive macros to 
get idempotent generation, but I guess that's that. We should document 
that somewhere.

2. Now the fun begins. Now with macros I could define things like 
variables and even functions, and change all by changing one. Cool! So I 
started looking for all colors in the document and converted them to macros.

After a short time I had http://paste.ofcode.org/3agBQ3t6C3UJsqMfRe4GeQL 
working. With that in hand, it was trivially easy to test different 
colors and see how they impact the look.

The result is as I mentioned at http://erdani.com/d. I trust you'll hate 
the colors but maybe not the hack.

So, may I add a pull request of this without anyone having an apoplexy 
attack? When we pass the site for styling we can pass the generated css.

My only real complaint about the ddoc site is that the build

I can second that. I haven't tried in the past week, but I've

Getting back to this. I am currently on a journey to attempt to 
build the docs and/or the website (I'm not sure if the two are 
mutually exclusive).

I'm following the instructions on the wiki: 
http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD#Building_the_Docs. They're 
Posix-only, but I know I was able to do this part before and at 
least get a semi-working version of the website. The problem is 
that I forget how I got it to work now.

For building the tools, I run `make -fwin32.mak` and it manages 
to build findtags. It then fails with `Error: don't know how to 
make '\cbx\mars\doc\expression.html'`, so my journey is over 
fairly quickly.

If someone could help with this, I can add a Windows-specific 
section to the wiki for building the docs/website.

That's a separate issue.  I'm referring to problems like this:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13436

The instructions are absent in readme.md and wrong or broken in 
contributing.md.

So, you might be wondering, why don't I fix it.  Answer, because 
I don't know what it should be.  This should be fixed by someone 
who already knows the build process, so others who don't know 
have a something working to start with, and can eventually 
inherit the maintenance and knowledge so they, themselves, can 
pass it on to others.

Much better with using gray as the base color. But I think a red 
tone matching something in the logo should be used instead of the 
orange color for the selected item. Otherwise it will look 
inconsistent.

Also... Shouldn't we get rid of the brown/red gradient in the 
background?

Sass (http://sass-lang.com/) and Less (http://lesscss.org/) comes to my

I think you will eventually find that ddoc is turing-complete and will 
implement one of the above transpilers in it.

And css minification isn't just about gzip. It's also about removing 
whitespace and compacting stuff. Can you code a ddoc macro for that?

This is a confusion - css minification is a separate topic altogether; I 
got to it as a drive-by optimization and many people here thought I need 
to spend the next quarter on traffic improvements.

To answer: it is not possible to do that with ddoc macros.

Red colour is hard to work with generally. It takes too much 
attention. It goes well with white and grey colours. Though, here 
is some colours for you to try:

I know it is hard to accept change though, for more professional 
look, many changes would require on the site.

This is an example for Phobos documentation:

We could use Open Sans font as well maybe from Google Fonts.


I mostly write CSS, JS, HTML by hand instead of using frameworks. 
So, I am sorry if the tools in the hand are not giving enough 
flexibility.

Thanks for writing. What does this page do? What are the colors you are 
suggesting?

Looks nice. I think we have most of what we need to put together a nice 
layout by using CSS.

There were silent changes in the past, which made me find workarounds 
and change the way I use ddoc.

 TL;DR: I've uploaded new menu colors at http://erdani.com/d/, this time
 aiming for a more martian red ethos. Please let me know.


I still like the original menu better.
