/*! \page autolink Automatic link generation
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.
\subsection linkclass Links to classes.
All words in the documentation that correspond to a documented class
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.
\subsection 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.
\subsection 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\>"()"</tt>
<li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\></tt>
</ol>
where n>0.
\par Note 1:
The patterns above should not contain spaces, tabs or newlines.
\par Note 2:
For JavaDoc compatibility a \# may be used instead of a :: in
the patterns above.
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 5 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 6) 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>
\subsection linkother Links to variables, typedefs, enum types, enum values and defines.
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 6 in this case.
\par Example:
\verbinclude autolink.cpp
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/autolink/html/index.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by Doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
\subsection resolving typedefs.
Typedefs that involve classes, structs and unions, like
\verbatim
typedef struct StructName TypeName
\endverbatim
create an alias for StructName, so links will be generated to StructName,
when either StructName itself or TypeName is encountered.
\par Example:
\verbinclude restypedef.cpp
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/restypedef/html/restypedef.cpp.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by Doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
