That has always been the case with Programming in D. Although there has 
been a hiatus of about two months this last time, Luís Marques' edits

It is not complicated at all. I type 'make', copy the generated .zip 
file to the hosting site, unzip, and the edits are live! :) (Although, 
the .epub and .mobi formats are not integrated to the Makefile yet.)

For historical reasons I started with Ddoc. I can investigate converting 
it to AsciiDoc but honestly I am not motivated much to do that. :)

Currently, Ddoc is first converted to HTML and I use the HTML to 
generate different final formats.
