Ddoc itself is provided as part of the D compiler. For usage with 
D source code. There is no form of preprocessor to my knowledge 
that you could utilise.

Its too heavily tied into D's frontend to be usable from other 
languages.
At this point I don't think you can get the power of Ddoc without 
using D itself.
