digitalmars.D.bugs - [Issue 18861] New: Some links from articles directory to spec

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18861

          Issue ID: 18861
           Summary: Some links from articles directory to spec directory
                    are wrong, giving 404 error
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dlang.org
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com

In, https://dlang.org/articles/mixin.html

Mixins (not to be confused with `template mixins`) enable string constants to
be compiled as regular D code and inserted into the program.
`template mixins` links to articles/spec/template-mixin.html instead of spec/template-mixin.html There are a few errors like this. Another issue, which isn't 404 error, in https://dlang.org/articles/cpptod.html
The D version is analogous, though a little simpler, taking advantage of
`Eponymous Templates` - promotion of single template members to the enclosing
name space
The `Eponymous Templates` gives a hard link to dlang.org/spec/template.html#implicit_template_properties instead of a relative link, which could be probamatic for offline docs. I will post a fix myself. --
