With https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/736, 
beautiful PDF generation via LaTeX is now possible.

There are, of course, many details to tend to. For starters, currently 
the doc is overly sparse, which makes it large (520 pages). But the 
basic framework is in place and works.

Who would want to give it a shot at beautifying it?

PR submitted with a couple small things[1].

I don't know how to best get wrapped text inside of tables.  Take a look
at the "Escape Sequences" table currently on page 15.  Putting the text
inside a minipage or similar prevents LaTeX from figuring out how wide
the column should be, so that doesn't work.  Is PDF considered part of
the "websites" component in the bugtracker?
