Put a \% in front of the class name. Like this: \%MyClass. Doxygen will then
remove the % and keep the word unlinked.
+<li><b>Help! I get the cryptic message
+ "input buffer overflow, can't enlarge buffer because scanner uses REJECT"</b>
+
+This error happens when doxygen lexical scanner has a rules that matches
+more than 16K input character in one go. I've seen this happening
+on a very large generated file (>16K lines), where the built-in preprocessor
+converted it into an empty file (with >16K of newlines). Another case
+where this might happen is if you have lines in you code with more than
+16K characters.
