digitalmars.D.learn - where do I find the complete phobos function list names ?

I was unsuccessfully searching the site for them in the form of a 
master index to begin with.

I need them, in plain text, in order to add them to a VIM custom 
syntax highlight plugin I already made which I am already using 
but is lacking phobos support.

Can anyone point me to the right place please ?

There is no global index in the online documentation; the best 
you can get is an index of each module.

If you really want this, your best bet is probably to run a 
source-code indexer like `ctags` on the Phobos source tree, and 
do some scripting to transform the results into something usable 
in your Vim plugin.

Something like that came across my mind, but before start coding 
I wanted to ask just in case of, not to waste time doing 
something that was probably already done.

Thanks for your reply !

Where is the index for the search functionality on dlang.org located? 
Could that be used?

Kind regards,

e.g. I found this file https://dlang.org/library/symbols.js which is 
used e.g. by https://dlang.org/library/std/algorithm/sorting/sort.html 
to implement the search. Perhaps that helps.

Kind regards,
Christian

Thanks Christian !

I downloaded the symbols.js file you pointed at, loaded it in 
VIM, and after 10-or-so minutes (of manual labor) I ended up with 
symbols.xml sorted alphabetically by symbol name and this is 
pretty much what I was looking for. It is not the right way to do 
it, I know, but from now on periodically checking the changes in 
the spec release notes I can maintain it by myself -I don't 
expect a lot of changes here anyway.

Once in XML form I can output VIM-compatible-syntax directly by 
way of XSLT and I can do pretty much anything I want with it :)

PS: Is there a way to upload a file here in the forum ? Maybe 
someone could make use of it.
