A very nice improvement would be to use nested elements for 
formatting indentation in code examples. Then it will line wrap 
correctly when reducing the width of the browser window. I like 
to have my editor and the browser window side by side on a single 
screen, so it should render well on narrow widths.

I remember making a XSLT stylesheet for transforming generic XML 
code formatting into nested HTML once, it isn't all that 
difficult (but a bit tedious). Maybe the dparser can be used 
since it can generate XML from D code. It might be possible to 
achieve this with just dparser+XSLT.

I generally think one should consider specifying a unifying XML 
format for the site documentation and compile down other formats 
(markdown, ddoc etc) to that format before generating either 
webpages, docbook, open office, or whatever.
