+/*! \page trouble Troubleshooting
+
+<h2>Known problems:</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>Doxygen is <em>not</em> a compiler, it is only a lexical scanner.
+ This means that it can and will not detect errors in your source code.
+<li>Since it impossible to test all possible code fragments, it is
+ very well possible, that some valid piece of C/C++ code is not handled
+ properly. If you find such a piece, please send it to me, so I can
+ improve doxygen's parsing capabilities. Try to make the piece of code
+ you send as small as possible, to help me narrow down the search.
+<li>Using declarations and directives are not yet. They are
+ simply ignored.
+<li>Doxygen does not work properly if there are multiple classes, structs
+ or unions with the same name in your code. It should not crash however,
+ rather it should ignore all of the classes with the same name except one.
+<li>Some commands do not work inside the arguments of other commands.
+ Inside a HTML link (i.e \<a href="..."\>...\<a\>) for instance
+ other commands (including other HTML commands) do not work!
+ The sectioning commands are an important exception.
+<li>Redundant braces can confuse doxygen in some cases.
+ For example:
+\verbatim
+ void f (int);
+\endverbatim
+ is properly parsed as a function declaration, but
+\verbatim
+ const int (a);
+\endverbatim
+ is also seen as a function declaration, because only the syntax is analysed,
+ not the semantics. If the redundant braces can be detected, as in
+\verbatim
+ int *(a[20]);
+\endverbatim
+ then doxygen will remove the braces and correctly parse the result.
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>How to help</h2>
+The development of Doxygen highly depends on your input!
+
+If you are trying Doxygen let me know what you think of it (do you
+miss certain features?). Even if you decide not to use it, please let me
+know why.
+
+Furthermore, I would appreciate a mail if you have found
+a bug, or if you have ideas (or even better some code or a patch)
+how to fix existing bugs and limitations.
