D has absolutely no notion of "databases", but I think it's fair to ask
"how do I retrieve data from a database using D".
D is a language. Ddoc is a macro system. How could this simile possibly
convey any information?
DDoc bare does not need a notion of rendering, but the base system in
place (call it the DDoc std lib) does need to present a way for a user
to end up with a math equation "rendered" well.
No, sorry Johan this is a hopeless misunderstanding. Ddoc does not
render absolutely anything. All it can do is output UTF text! We need to
clear this up before continuing.
