The text describing Sections in Documentation Generator page
(http://dlang.org/ddoc.html) is not accurate.

 Sections
 The document comment is a series of Sections. A Section is a name that is the
first non-blank character > on a line immediately followed by a ':'. This name
forms the section name. The section name is not case > sensitive.
1. A section is not a name. It has a name (except when it doesn't). May I propose: " A section is a block of text that is given special meaning by the document generator based on either position or a{n} [predefined?] (identifier|name|label|keyword). Details of each kind of section follow" 2. A name can be more than one character. I believe all the standard sections have names longer than 1 character. 3. Some sections do not end their identifiers with a colon (':') to wit "Escapes=". 4. The wording leaves the impression that arbitrary named sections are possible, is this the case? Or are the named sections predefined (i.e. those listed as standard and special sections)? -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
