At one time I had ambitions to search and replace the documentation to 
use markdown syntax instead of Ddoc macros to the extent possible. I 
just haven't made time for it yet, sadly.

One in particular I'd like to replace is the silly $(P) macro on every 
single paragraph, but that would require another PR to Ddoc to do 
automatically create paragraphs instead of <BR>s. In my original 
"markdown" PR that got shot down and I didn't try to bring it back at 
the time.
