digitalmars.D - dlang google summary

reply "cal" <callumenator gmail.com> writes:
Just wanted to point out that for a while now when you type dlang 
into google, the summary that google puts up starts with the 
latin from the input to the sample code on the main page:

Standard input. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur 
adipiscing elit. Mauris tristique rutrum sem, nec convallis enim 
bibendum ut. Donec ac dolor tortor, ...

Whereas it used to have a sensible summary like 'Modelling power, 
native efficiency', etc. Bing doesn't do this.

Not end of the world stuff, but it looks a little hacky, maybe 
instead of the latin, you could use an english summary of D, I 
dunno.

It looks like that text is what's used as the default arguments for the=

program at the top of the front page, but as far as I can tell, there's=
 no way=20
to actually see that text without looking at the page's source, so the =
fact=20
that Google is showing it is rather funny. I do kind of wonder why Goog=
le=20
grabbed that instead of the "The D pro=C2=ADgram=C2=ADming lan=C2=ADgua=
ge. Mod=C2=ADern con=C2=ADve=C2=AD
nience. Mod=C2=ADel=C2=ADing power. Na=C2=ADtive ef=C2=ADfi=C2=ADciency=
." at the top of the page though.=20
Maybe it doesn't grab headers? In either case, it does make the google =
search=20
a bit weird.

Why not just preface the standard input text with the D line?

Wow that's weird!

As Jonathan said it's text for default standard input in program 
example.

It should grab text located in <hx> tags. Will try to fix it :)

Simple solution: paste the Website content instead of Lorem Ipsum.

Yea, that + some minor tweaks should fix that.

I will make pull request tomorrow (today, later).

Sorry for introducing that bug, it's my fault.
