Indeed, and ddoc actually kinda does that for .d files, it just
doesn't for .dd files. Weird rules.
But \n\n is not necessarily a paragraph break. Consider this:
/++
First paragraph
$(DIVC foo,
bar
)
+/
That \n\n there is immediately followed by a div tag... and
should not actually have a <p> before it. It isn't completely
wrong but it isn't right semantically and can lead to spacing
bugs in the resulting page (it is invalid html to have a div
inside a p, so it will automatically close the <p> tag before
opening the <div>).
So it is just a bit more complicated than it looks. My
implementation to cover all the crazy edge cases I thought up is
like 300 lines of code and it still isn't actually perfect (of
course any time you have a 300 line buggy function there's the
possibility that I just overcomplicated it and there's a much
simpler, more general solution I missed).
