I took a look out of curiosity. 
https://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/writeln.html indeed has no direct 
exmaple and sends the reader to 
https://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/write.html. That one also has n 
direct example and sends the user to 
https://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/std_conv.html, which is a 404.

That's pretty bad. I'll create an issue.
