One of the very first lines:

     $(TABLE2 Kinds of Arrays,
         $(THEAD Syntax, Description)
         $(TROW $(ARGS $(I type)*), $(ARGS $(RELATIVE_LINK2 
pointers, Pointers to data)))
         $(TROW $(ARGS $(I type)[$(I integer)]), $(ARGS 
$(RELATIVE_LINK2 static-arrays, Static arrays)))
         $(TROW $(ARGS $(I type)[]),  $(ARGS $(RELATIVE_LINK2 
dynamic-arrays, Dynamic arrays)))
         $(TROW $(ARGS $(I type)[$(I type)]), $(ARGS $(DDLINK 
hash-map, Associative Arrays, Associative arrays)))
     )

I had no idea of what it is and how it will look like after doc 
generation until started checking each macro one by one. Similar 
stuff in md:

     |       Kinds of Arrays    |
     |--------------------------|
     | Syntax         | Description |
     |------------------------------|
     |`type*`         | [Pointers to data](/arrays.html#pointers)  
  |
     |`type[integer]` | [Static 
arrays](/arrays.html#static-arrays) |

     // etc.

it is just so much easier to work with : resembles actual 
generated layout, less noise from service symbols, no special 
macros for basic things. It may be somewhat less maintainable 
because everything is hard-coded but it is not something that 
changes casually.
