DDoc has the following syntax as in "$ should be replaced with $" at

   http://dlang.org/spec/ddoc.html

(None of the following is tested.)

a) Try using the following macro:

     COLON = :

And then use "Note$(COLON) Blah".

b) Perhaps easier:

     COLON = :
     NOTE = Note$(COLON)

Then use "$(NOTE) Blah"

c) Another option:

     NOTE = Note: $0

Then use "$(NOTE Blah)"
