So do it for those who do help and not for those how don't ;)
Your issue with Ddoc is that the latex pdf generator you used was broken? Latex meets your critera as being very widely used. Use another pdf generator. Nobody has chained you to Latex.
I could care less about generating a PDF. But apparently someone cared and added it to the process of building dlang.org. So if you're willing to remove that or replace Latex with something else, please go ahead.
Jacob, I've adapted several books for Ddoc on their way to being Kindle ebooks. Ddoc works fine for the formatting. The WORK is simply not the formatting, it's the text creation/editting. If you're spending the bulk of your time fiddling with Ddoc rather than text creation, I suspect you've gone off the rails somewhere.
Well, see for yourself [1]. None of the comments are related to the content. The content is the easy part.
