(I looked for existing bugs but found none pertaining only to dmd/ddoc itself, hence this new one). Currently anchor links are generated for Phobos using DDOC_PSYMBOL in std.ddoc: DDOC_PSYMBOL = <a name="$0"></a><span class="ddoc_psymbol">$0</span> Unfortunately there is no way to get the 'qualified' name e.g. of a member or method. Consequently there are anchor collisions such as enum EditOp.remove instead of free function remove(): http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6017 DDoc should provide a way to get qualified symbol names suitable for anchor links. I have a pull request almost ready to address this.

Here's the existing bug for this: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6017 This could be marked as a duplicate or vice versa since this has a better title.
Yes, bug #6017 is very similar. I thought my dmd pull request might need a separate issue as it is purely for dmd, whereas the other issue may need a small update to the website's std.ddoc once we have the dmd fix.
