Today I tried to use DDoc the first time. Well, a lot of problems. New compile errors, no navigation and so on. Then I tried CandyDoc from the Helix project. Works with calling dmd from the commandline, but not with build. This is because build appends '-op' to the dmd command. I made a post to the Helix forum. But this is not my actual issue.

Wouldn't it be very useful if build integrates CandyDoc or such a solution. So a user can compile the program and generate a pretty doc out-of-the-box?

CandyDoc needs a modules.ddoc, which lists all modules for the navigation. Build has the information about all used modules. So the integration of the doc generation workflow into build seems to me the right place - a natural thing.

If CandyDoc integrates into build, further enhancements would be possible. Actual, CandyDoc can only make use of stylesheets and macros. With build, the generation of a static navigation and independent pages would be possible.

Well, just an idea

Interesting. I currently use Build to generate documentation from Ddoc files. I'll have a look at CandyDoc before commiting to anything just yet.
