/*! \page xmlcmds XML Commands
Doxygen supports most of the XML commands that are typically used in C#
code comments. The XML tags are defined in Appendix E of the
ECMA-334
standard, which defines the C# language. Unfortunately, the specification is
not very precise and a number of the examples given are of poor quality.
Here is the list of tags supported by doxygen:
- \ Identifies inline text that should be rendered as a
piece of code. Similar to using \text\.
- \
Set one or more lines of source code or program output.
Note that this command behaves like \\code ... \\endcode
for C# code, but it behaves like the HTML equivalent
\...\
for other languages.
- \ Part of a \
command, describes an item.
- \ Marks a block of text as an example, ignored by doxygen.
- \ Identifies the exception a
method can throw.
- \ Can be used to import a piece of XML from an external
file. Ignored by doxygen at the moment.
- \
List item. Can only be used inside a \
context.
- \
Starts a list, supported types are bullet
or number and table.
A list consists of a number of \ tags.
A list of type table, is a two column table which can have
a header.
- \ Starts the header of a list of type "table".
- \ Identifies a paragraph of text.
- \ Marks a piece of text as the documentation
for parameter "paramName". Similar to
using \ref cmdparam "\\param".
- \ Refers to a parameter with name
"paramName". Similar to using \ref cmda "\\a".
- \ Identifies the security accessibility of a member.
Ignored by doygen.
- \ Identifies the detailed description.
- \ Marks a piece of text as the return value of a
function or method. Similar to using \ref cmdreturn "\\return".
- \ Refers to a member. Similar to \ref cmdref "\\ref".
- \ Starts a "See also" section referring
to "member". Similar to using \ref cmdsa "\\sa" member.
- \ Identifies the brief description.
Similar to using \ref cmdbrief "\\brief".
- \ Part of a \
command.
- \ Identifies a property. Ignored by doxygen.
Here is an example of a typical piece of code using some of the above commands:
\code
///
/// A search engine.
///
class Engine
{
///
/// The Search method takes a series of parameters to specify the search criterion
/// and returns a dataset containing the result set.
///
/// the connection string to connect to the
/// database holding the content to search
/// The maximum number of rows to
/// return in the result set
/// The text that we are searching for
/// A DataSet instance containing the matching rows. It contains a maximum
/// number of rows specified by the maxRows parameter
public DataSet Search(string connectionString, int maxRows, int searchString)
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
return ds;
}
}
\endcode
