I have been inserting the text files into my word processor and using copy and paste to get the graphics back in. And then I am also reformating it and will hopefully have a document I can convert to pdf.

But getting the reference material for both D and Tango in to a pdf format and in a place on the web sites that is easily accessible would go along way to help get others to adopt D as their language of choice.

Yes, the Tango Reference manual really, really needs to be completed.  I 
am supposed to be contributing towards that goal but have been juggling 
several time consuming projects here and there.  Time to get back on 
track. :(

I've also been interested in making it into a chm and pdf file in the 
past.  This would be an important next step.  I think there have been a 
few requests for that.
