It would still be good otherwise, but it would be a wiki. Let me take this opportunity to remind people of the following page, some of which link to wiki books: http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?D__Tutorial > So instead of wasting time with manual translation, keep your book in > sync with D2, add some examples..

I am using a pdf blocking plug-in, that causes that GitHub link to save a fake
pdf file :-(
Is your tutorial containing the (a,b) => a * b syntax too?
I'd like operators in your text to have a space around:
a * b
instead of
a*b
(Unless the space is finishing on the line).
In my opinion
foo!q{ a * b }
Is more readable than:
foo!"a*b"

A tutorial on D templates
[Cross-posted with D.learn, since it's also a learning-related post] Hello all, I discovered D a few years ago and, seeing the recent increase in community projects, I looked for a way to bring my own small part to it. I quite like D templates and wanted to try LaTeX again, so I decided to bite the bullet and wrote a tutorial on templates. It's far from finished and most probably full of mistakes but since it's already quite big, I need some inputs. It's a Github project, here: https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/D-templates-tutorial The resulting pdf is there: https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/D-templates-tutorial/blob/master/dtemplates.pdf (click on View Raw) If you have any comment, criticism, explanation, what have you, I'm game. What section should be expanded, what example would be cool, etc. If you see a mistake, do not hesitate to tell me: it's the first time I put thoughts on paper like this. Github issues management is far from perfect, but it's usable. Even better would be pull requests :) There is an 'Examples' section where I show what can be done with templates and there I 'borrowed' some code posted here, with attribution. I already exchanged with Andrej Mitrovic (thanks!), but also took some code from Timon Gehr, Simen Kjaeraas, Trass3r and Jacob Carlborg. Guys, if any of you have a problem with that, tell me so and I'll take down the code of course. But if any of you could give me some explanation (a small paragraph or two?) about what your code does, I'll be forever grateful :) This also extend to anyone who would want to share some template love/lore with the rest of us. Philippe
