Having said that, though, using ddoc for the website leads to other

Annoying, and maybe you have to spend a couple minutes picking the right one
if you've forgotten for the moment => absolute nightmare? Come on.
How does a user who happens to spot a mistake in the docs and wants to help work
this out?
1. he can file a bugzilla issue
2. he can click on the "Improve this page"
3. to find out what LREF does:
grep LREF *.ddoc
If what a trivial text macro does is beyond his ken, and/or using grep, I wonder
if he should be improving programming documentation at all. I do expect this to
be part of the baseline knowledge a programmer should have. I wouldn't expect an
accountant to know this stuff.
