Render newlines in DDoc popup

[Mike]

My DDoc comment looks like this:

/********************************************************************************
 Port 2 
 These bits are written by software to configure the I/O direction mode.
 00: Input (reset state)
 01: General purpose output mode
 10: Alternate function mode
 11: Analog mode
*/
alias MODER2 = BitField!(5, 4, Mutability.rw);

But it's rendered in the DDoc popup as...

That is, the newlines are not preserved making it a little more difficult to read.

Implementing a way to preserved the DDoc appearance as it is written it the comment would be most welcome. Thank you.

I agree preserving the newlines in the comment source would be nicer. Unfortunately, that is not the standard way that DMD generates DDoc - it ignores newlines. So if DDT were to preserve the newlines, it would be presenting DDoc in a non-standard way. This is not ideal. Then other users would see the doc in a different way, unless they were using DDT as well.

I might still add this as an editor preference regardless, but I'm unsure...
