-/*! \page autolink Automatic link generation
-
- \tableofcontents
-
- Most documentation systems have special `see also' sections where links
- to other pieces of documentation can be inserted.
- Although doxygen also has a command to start such a section (See section
- \ref cmdsa "\\sa"), it does allow you to put these kind of links anywhere in the
- documentation.
- For \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ documentation a reference to the page number
- is written instead of a link. Furthermore, the index at the end of the
- document can be used to quickly find the documentation of a member, class,
- namespace or file.
- For man pages no reference information is generated.
-
- The next sections show how to generate links to the various documented
- entities in a source file.
-
- \section linkurl Links to web pages and mail addresses
-
- Doxygen will automatically replace any URLs and mail addresses found in the
- documentation by links (in HTML). To manually specify link text, use the
- HTML '<tt>a</tt>' tag:
- \verbatim <a href="linkURL">link text</a> \endverbatim
- which will be automatically translated to other output formats by Doxygen.
-
- \section linkclass Links to classes
-
- All words in the documentation that correspond to a documented class and
- contain at least one non-lower case character will automatically be
- replaced by a link to the page containing the
- documentation of the class. If you want to prevent that a word
- that corresponds to a documented class is replaced by a link you
- should put a \% in front of the word.
- To link to an all lower case symbol, use \ref cmdref "\\ref".
-
- \section linkfile Links to files
-
- All words that contain a dot (<tt>.</tt>) that is not the last character
- in the word are considered to be file names.
- If the word is indeed the name of a documented input file, a link will
- automatically be created to the documentation of that file.
-
- \section linkfunc Links to functions
-
- Links to functions are created if one of the following patterns is
- encountered:
- <ol>
- <li><tt>\<functionName\>"("\<argument-list\>")"</tt>
- <li><tt>\<functionName\>"()"</tt>
- <li><tt>"::"\<functionName\></tt>
- <li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\>"("\<argument-list\>")"</tt>
- <li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\>"("\<argument-list\>")"\<modifiers\></tt>
- <li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\>"()"</tt>
- <li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\></tt>
- </ol>
- where n\>0.
-
- \par Note 1:
- Function arguments should be specified with correct types, i.e.
- 'fun(const std::string&,bool)' or '()' to match any prototype.
- \par Note 2:
- Member function modifiers (like 'const' and 'volatile')
- are required to identify the target, i.e. 'func(int) const' and 'fun(int)'
- target different member functions.
- \par Note 3:
- For JavaDoc compatibility a \# may be used instead of a :: in
- the patterns above.
- \par Note 4:
- In the documentation of a class containing a member foo,
- a reference to a global variable is made using "::foo", whereas \#foo
- will link to the member.
-
- For non overloaded members the argument list may be omitted.
-
- If a function is overloaded and no matching argument list is specified
- (i.e. pattern 2 or 6 is used), a link will be created to the
- documentation of one of the overloaded members.
-
- For member functions the class scope (as used in patterns 4 to 7) may
- be omitted, if:
- <ol>
- <li>The pattern points to a documented member that belongs to the same class
- as the documentation block that contains the pattern.
- <li>The class that corresponds to the documentation blocks that contains
- the pattern has a base class that contains a documented member
- that matches the pattern.
- </ol>
-
- \section linkother Links to other members
-
- All of these entities can be linked to in the same way as described in the
- previous section. For sake of clarity it is advised to only use
- patterns 3 and 7 in this case.
-
- \par Example:
- \verbinclude autolink.cpp
- \htmlonly
- Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/autolink/html/index.html">here</a>
- for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by Doxygen.
- \endhtmlonly
-
- \section resolving typedefs
-
- Typedefs that involve classes, structs and unions, like
-\verbatim
-typedef struct StructName TypeName
-\endverbatim
- create an alias for StructName, so links will be generated to StructName,
- when either StructName itself or TypeName is encountered.
-
- \par Example:
- \verbinclude restypedef.cpp
- \htmlonly
- Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/restypedef/html/restypedef_8cpp.html">here</a>
- for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by Doxygen.
- \endhtmlonly
