Yes, that has indeed quite a palatable appearance. I see you defined 2
or 3-cols tables, that's a good idea. Too bad DDoc macros do not
accept numerical arguments :) I guess in the end a 4-cols version will
be necessary, if only for the big tables in std.algorithm.

I also like your use of the `listings` package. How did you 'disable'
the automatic colouring DMD insert in code samples?

Same here. I have a big tutorial on templates on github. Following
your advice, Walter, I found ways to convert it into .epub or .mobi (I
converted it from LaTex to Markdown). And, indeed, even 60-chars lines
tend to be too long for these screens. That's a pretty harsh limit! I
still have to scan the entire doc to find the longest lines.

Maybe I can start converting it to a big Ddoc file...
