/*! \page commands Special Commands
\section cmd_intro Introduction
All commands in the documentation start with a backslash (<b>\\</b>) or an
at-sign (<b>\@</b>). If you prefer you can replace all commands starting with a
backslash below by their counterparts that start with an at-sign.
Some commands have one or more arguments.
Each argument has a certain range:
<ul>
<li>If \<sharp\> braces are used the argument is a single word.
<li>If (round) braces are used the argument extends until the end of the line
on which the command was found.
<li>If {curly} braces are used the argument extends until the next paragraph.
Paragraphs are delimited by a blank line or by a section indicator.
</ul>
If [square] brackets are used the argument is optional.
Here is an alphabetically sorted list of all commands with references to their
documentation:

\section cmdaddtogroup \\addtogroup <name> [(title)]
\addindex \\addtogroup
Defines a group just like \ref cmddefgroup "\\defgroup", but in contrast to
that command using the same \<name\> more than once will not result in a warning,
but rather one group with a merged documentation and the first title found in
any of the commands.
The title is optional, so this command can also be used to add a number of
entities to an existing group using \@{ and \@} like this:
\verbatim
/*! \addtogroup mygrp
* Additional documentation for group `mygrp'
* @{
*/
/*!
* A function
*/
void func1()
{
}
/*! Another function */
void func2()
{
}
/*! @} */
\endverbatim
\sa page \ref grouping "Grouping", sections \ref cmddefgroup "\\defgroup", \ref cmdingroup "\\ingroup" and
\ref cmdweakgroup "\\weakgroup".
<hr>
\section cmdcallgraph \\callgraph
\addindex \\callgraph
When this command is put in a comment block of a function or method
and \ref cfg_have_dot "HAVE_DOT" is set to YES, then doxygen will
generate a call graph for that function (provided the implementation of the
function or method calls other documented functions). The call graph will
generated regardless of the value of \ref cfg_call_graph "CALL_GRAPH".
\note The completeness (and correctness) of the call graph depends on the
doxygen code parser which is not perfect.
<hr>
\section cmdcallergraph \\callergraph
\addindex \\callergraph
When this command is put in a comment block of a function or method
and \ref cfg_have_dot "HAVE_DOT" is set to YES, then doxygen will
generate a caller graph for that function (provided the implementation of the
function or method calls other documented functions). The caller graph will
generated regardless of the value of \ref cfg_caller_graph "CALLER_GRAPH".
\note The completeness (and correctness) of the caller graph depends on the
doxygen code parser which is not perfect.
<hr>
\section cmdcategory \\category <name> [<header-file>] [<header-name>]
\addindex \\category
For Objective-C only: Indicates that a comment block contains documentation
for a class category with name \<name\>. The arguments are
equal to the \\class command.
\sa section \ref cmdclass "\\class".
<hr>
\section cmdclass \\class <name> [<header-file>] [<header-name>]
\addindex \\class
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a
class with name \<name\>. Optionally a header file and a header name
can be specified. If the header-file is specified, a link to a verbatim copy
of the header will be included in the HTML documentation.
The \<header-name\> argument can be used to overwrite the
name of the link that is used in the class documentation to something other
than \<header-file\>. This can be useful if the include name is not located
on the default include path (like \<X11/X.h\>). With the \<header-name\>
argument you can also specify how the include statement should look like,
by adding either quotes or sharp brackets around the name.
Sharp brackets are used if just the name is given. Note that the
last two arguments can also specified using
the \ref cmdheaderfile "\\headerfile" command.
\par Example:
\verbinclude class.h
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/class/html/index.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
<hr>
\section cmddef \\def <name>
\addindex \\def
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a
\c \#define macro.
\par Example:
\verbinclude define.h
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/define/html/define_8h.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
<hr>
\section cmddefgroup \\defgroup <name> (group title)
\addindex \\defgroup
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a
\ref modules "group" of classes, files or namespaces. This can be used to
categorize classes, files or namespaces, and document those
categories. You can also use groups as members of other groups,
thus building a hierarchy of groups.
The \<name\> argument should be a single-word identifier.
\sa page \ref grouping "Grouping", sections \ref cmdingroup "\\ingroup", \ref cmdaddtogroup "\\addtogroup",
\ref cmdweakgroup "\\weakgroup".
<hr>
\section cmddir \\dir [<path fragment>]
\addindex \\dir
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a directory.
The "path fragment" argument should include the directory name and
enough of the path to be unique w.r.t. the other directories in the project.
The \ref cfg_show_dirs "SHOW_DIRECTORIES" option determines whether
or not the directory information is shown and the
\ref cfg_strip_from_path "STRIP_FROM_PATH" option determines what is
stripped from the full path before it appears in the output.
<hr>
\section cmdenum \\enum <name>
\addindex \\enum
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for an
enumeration, with name \<name\>. If the enum is a member of a class and
the documentation block is located outside the class definition,
the scope of the class should be specified as well.
If a comment block is located directly in front of an enum declaration,
the \\enum comment may be omitted.
\par Note:
The type of an anonymous enum cannot be documented, but the values
of an anonymous enum can.
\par Example:
\verbinclude enum.h
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/enum/html/class_test.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
<hr>
\section cmdexample \\example <file-name>
\addindex \\example
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a source code
example. The name of the source file is \<file-name\>. The text of
this file will be included in the documentation, just after the
documentation contained in the comment block. All examples are placed
in a list. The source code is scanned for documented members and classes.
If any are found, the names are cross-referenced with the documentation.
Source files or directories can be specified using the
\ref cfg_example_path "EXAMPLE_PATH"
tag of doxygen's configuration file.
If \<file-name\> itself is not unique for the set of example files specified
by the
\ref cfg_example_path "EXAMPLE_PATH" tag, you can include part of the absolute path
to disambiguate it.
If more that one source file is needed for the example,
the \\include command can be used.
\par Example:
\verbinclude example.cpp
Where the example file \c example_test.cpp looks as follows:
\verbinclude example_test.cpp
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/example/html/examples.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
\sa section \ref cmdinclude "\\include".
<hr>
\section cmdendinternal \\endinternal
\addindex \\endinternal
This command ends a documentation fragment that was started with a
\ref cmdinternal "\\internal" command. The text between \c \\internal and
\c \\endinternal will only be visible
if \ref cfg_internal_docs "INTERNAL_DOCS" is set to YES.
<hr>
\section cmdextends \\extends <name>
\addindex \\extends
This command can be used to manually indicate an inheritance relation,
when the programming language does not support this concept natively
(e.g. C).
The file \c manual.c in the example directory shows how to use this command.
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/manual/html/index.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
\sa section \ref cmdimplements "\\implements" and section
\ref cmdmemberof "\\memberof"
<hr>
\section cmdfile \\file [<name>]
\addindex \\file
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a source or
header file with name \<name\>. The file name may include (part of) the
path if the file-name alone is not unique. If the file name is omitted
(i.e. the line after \\file is left blank) then the documentation block that
contains the \\file command will belong to the file it is located in.
\par Important:
The documentation of global functions, variables, typedefs, and enums will
only be included in the output if the file they are in is documented as well.
\par Example:
\verbinclude file.h
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/file/html/file_8h.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
\note In the above example \ref cfg_javadoc_autobrief "JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF"
has been set to YES in the configuration file.
<hr>
\section cmdfn \\fn (function declaration)
\addindex \\fn
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a function
(either global or as a member of a class). This command is \em only
needed if a comment block is \e not placed in front (or behind)
the function declaration or definition.
If your comment block \e is in front of the function
declaration or definition this command can (and to avoid redundancy
should) be omitted.
A full function declaration including arguments should be specified after the
\\fn command on a \e single line, since the argument ends at the end
of the line!
\warning Do not use this command
if it is not absolutely needed, since it will lead to duplication of
information and thus to errors.
\par Example:
\verbinclude func.h
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/func/html/class_test.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
\sa section \ref cmdvar "\\var" and \ref cmdtypedef "\\typedef".
<hr>
\section cmdheaderfile \\headerfile <header-file> [<header-name>]
\addindex \\headerfile
Intended to be used for class, struct, or union documentation, where
the documentation is in front of the definition. The arguments of
this command are the same as the second and third argument of
\ref cmdclass "\\cmdclass".
The header-file name refers to the file that should by included by the
application to obtain the definition of the class, struct, or union.
The \<header-name\> argument can be used to overwrite the
name of the link that is used in the class documentation to something other
than \<header-file\>. This can be useful if the include name is not located
on the default include path (like \<X11/X.h\>).
With the \<header-name\>
argument you can also specify how the include statement should look like,
by adding either double quotes or sharp brackets around the name.
By default sharp brackets are used if just the name is given.
If a pair of double quotes is given for either the header-file or
header-name argument, the current file (in which the command was found)
will be used but with quotes. So for a comment block with a \\headerfile
command inside a file test.h, the following three commands are equivalent:
\verbatim
\headerfile test.h "test.h"
\headerfile test.h ""
\headerfile "" \endverbatim
To get sharp brackets you do not need to specify anything,
but if you want to be explicit you could use any of the following:
\verbatim
\headerfile test.h <test.h>
\headerfile test.h <>
\headerfile <> \endverbatim
To globally reverse the default include representation to
local includes you can set
\ref cfg_force_local_includes "FORCE_LOCAL_INCLUDES" to \c YES.
To disable the include information altogether set
\ref cfg_show_include_files "SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES" to \c NO.
<hr>
\section cmdhideinitializer \\hideinitializer
\addindex \\hideinitializer
By default the value of a define and the initializer of a variable
are displayed unless they are longer than 30 lines. By putting
this command in a comment block of a define or variable, the
initializer is always hidden.
\sa section \ref cmdshowinitializer "\\showinitializer".
<hr>
\section cmdimplements \\implements <name>
\addindex \\implements
This command can be used to manually indicate an inheritance relation,
when the programming language does not support this concept natively
(e.g. C).
The file \c manual.c in the example directory shows how to use this command.
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/manual/html/index.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
\sa section \ref cmdextends "\\extends" and section
\ref cmdmemberof "\\memberof"
<hr>
\section cmdingroup \\ingroup (<groupname> [<groupname> <groupname>])
\addindex \\ingroup
If the \\ingroup command is placed in a comment block of a
class, file or namespace, then it will be added to the group or
groups identified by \<groupname\>.
\sa page \ref grouping "Grouping", sections \ref cmddefgroup "\\defgroup",
\ref cmdaddtogroup "\\addtogroup" and \ref cmdweakgroup "\\weakgroup"
<hr>
\section cmdinterface \\interface <name> [<header-file>] [<header-name>]
\addindex \\interface
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for an
interface with name \<name\>. The arguments are equal to the \\class
command.
\sa section \ref cmdclass "\\class".
<hr>
\section cmdinternal \\internal
\addindex \\internal
This command starts a documentation fragment that is meant for internal
use only. The fragment naturally ends at the end of the comment block.
You can also force the internal section to end earlier using the
\ref cmdendinternal "\\endinternal" command.
If the \\internal command is put inside a section
(see for example \ref cmdsection "\\section") all subsections after the
command are considered to be internal as well. Only a new section at the
same level will end the fragment that is considered internal.
You can use \ref cfg_internal_docs "INTERNAL_DOCS" in the config file
to show (\c YES) or hide (\c NO) the internal documentation.
<hr>
\section cmdmainpage \\mainpage [(title)]
\addindex \\mainpage
If the \\mainpage command is placed in a comment block the
block is used to customize the index page (in HTML) or
the first chapter (in \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$).
The title argument is optional and replaces the default title that
doxygen normally generates. If you do not want any title you can
specify \c notitle as the argument of \\mainpage.
Here is an example:
\verbatim
/*! \mainpage My Personal Index Page
*
* \section intro_sec Introduction
*
* This is the introduction.
*
* \section install_sec Installation
*
* \subsection step1 Step 1: Opening the box
*
* etc...
*/
\endverbatim
You can refer to the main page using \\ref index (if the treeview
is disabled, otherwise you should use \\ref main).
\sa section \ref cmdsection "\\section",
section \ref cmdsubsection "\\subsection" and
section \ref cmdpage "\\page".
<hr>
\section cmdmemberof \\memberof <name>
\addindex \\memberof
This command make a function a member of a class in a similar way
as \ref cmdrelates "\\relates" does, only with this command the function
is represented as a real member of the class.
This can be useful when the programming language does not support
the concept of member functions natively (e.g. C).
It is also possible to use this command together with
\ref cmdpublic "\\public", \ref cmdprotected "\\protected" or
\ref cmdprivate "\\private".
The file \c manual.c in the example directory shows how to use this command.
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/manual/html/index.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
\sa sections \ref cmdextends "\\extends", \ref cmdimplements "\\implements",
\ref cmdpublic "\\public", \ref cmdprotected "\\protected" and
\ref cmdprivate "\\private".
<hr>
\section cmdname \\name (header)
\addindex \\name
This command turns a comment block into a header
definition of a member group. The
comment block should be followed by a
<code>//\@{ ... //\@}</code> block containing the
members of the group.
See section \ref memgroup for an example.
<hr>
\section cmdnamespace \\namespace <name>
\addindex \\namespace
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a
namespace with name \<name\>.
<hr>
\section cmdnosubgrouping \\nosubgrouping
\addindex \\nosubgrouping
This command can be put in the documentation
of a class. It can be used in combination with member grouping
to avoid that doxygen puts a member group as a subgroup of a
Public/Protected/Private/... section.
<hr>
\section cmdoverload \\overload [(function declaration)]
\addindex \\overload
This command can be used to generate the following
standard text for an overloaded member function:
`This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.'
If the documentation for the overloaded member function is not located
in front of the function declaration or definition, the optional
argument should be used to specify the correct function.
Any other documentation that is inside the documentation block will
by appended after the generated message.
\par Note 1:
You are responsible that there is indeed an
earlier documented member that is overloaded by this one.
To prevent that document reorders the documentation you should set
\ref cfg_sort_member_docs "SORT_MEMBER_DOCS" to NO in this case.
\par Note 2:
The \\overload command does not work inside a one-line comment.
\par Example:
\verbinclude examples/overload.cpp
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/overload/html/class_test.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
<hr>
\section cmdpackage \\package <name>
\addindex \\package
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a
Java package with name \<name\>.
<hr>
\section cmdpage \\page <name> (title)
\addindex \\page
Indicates that a comment block contains a piece of documentation that is
not directly related to one specific class, file or member.
The HTML generator creates a page containing the documentation. The
\f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ generator
starts a new section in the chapter `Page documentation'.
\par Example:
\verbinclude page.doc
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/page/html/pages.html">here</a>
for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by doxygen.
\endhtmlonly
\par Note:
The \<name\> argument consists of a combination of letters and number
digits. If you wish to use upper case letters (e.g. \c MYPAGE1), or
mixed case letters (e.g. \c MyPage1) in the \<name\> argument, you
should set \c CASE_SENSE_NAMES to \c YES. However, this is advisable
only if your file system is case sensitive. Otherwise (and for better
portability) you should use all lower case letters (e.g. \c mypage1)
for \<name\> in all references to the page.
\sa section \ref cmdsection "\\section", section
\ref cmdsubsection "\\subsection", and section
\ref cmdref "\\ref".
<hr>
\section cmdprivate \\private
\addindex \\private
\addindex \\privatesection
Indicates that the member documented in the comment block is private,
i.e., should only be accessed by other members in the same class.
Note that Doxygen automatically detects the protection level of members
in object-oriented languages. This command is intended for use only when
the language does not support the concept of protection level natively
(e.g. C, PHP 4).
For starting a section of private members, in a way similar to the
"private:" class marker in C++, use \\privatesection.
\sa sections \ref cmdmemberof "\\memberof", \ref cmdpublic "\\public",
and \ref cmdprotected "\\protected".
<hr>
\section cmdproperty \\property (qualified property name)
\addindex \\property
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a
property (either global or as a member of a class).
This command is equivalent to \\var and \\fn.
\sa section \ref cmdfn "\\fn" and \ref cmdvar "\\var".
<hr>
\section cmdprotected \\protected
\addindex \\protected
\addindex \\protectedsection
Indicates that the member documented in the comment block is protected,
i.e., should only be accessed by other members in the same or derived
classes.
Note that Doxygen automatically detects the protection level of members
in object-oriented languages. This command is intended for use only when
the language does not support the concept of protection level natively
(e.g. C, PHP 4).
For starting a section of protected members, in a way similar to the
"protected:" class marker in C++, use \\protectedsection.
\sa sections \ref cmdmemberof "\\memberof", \ref cmdpublic "\\public",
and \ref cmdprivate "\\private".
<hr>
\section cmdprotocol \\protocol <name> [<header-file>] [<header-name>]
\addindex \\protocol
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a
protocol in Objective-C with name \<name\>. The arguments are equal
to the \\class command.
\sa section \ref cmdclass "\\class".
<hr>
\section cmdpublic \\public
\addindex \\public
\addindex \\publicsection
Indicates that the member documented in the comment block is public,
i.e., can be accessed by any other class or function.
Note that Doxygen automatically detects the protection level of members
in object-oriented languages. This command is intended for use only when
the language does not support the concept of protection level natively
(e.g. C, PHP 4).
For starting a section of public members, in a way similar to the
"public:" class marker in C++, use \\publicsection.
\sa sections \ref cmdmemberof "\\memberof", \ref cmdprotected "\\protected"
and \ref cmdprivate "\\private".
<hr>
\section cmdrelates \\relates <name>
\addindex \\relates
This command can be used in the documentation of a non-member function
\<name\>. It puts the function inside the `related function' section
of the class documentation. This command is useful for documenting
non-friend functions that are nevertheless strongly coupled to a certain
class. It prevents the need of having to document a file, but

\section cmdrelatesalso \\relatesalso <name>
\addindex \\relatesalso
This command can be used in the documentation of a non-member function
\<name\>. It puts the function both inside the `related function' section
of the class documentation as well as leaving its normal file documentation
location. This command is useful for documenting
non-friend functions that are nevertheless strongly coupled to a certain
class. It only works for functions.
<hr>
\section cmdshowinitializer \\showinitializer
\addindex \\showinitializer
By default the value of a define and the initializer of a variable
are only displayed if they are less than 30 lines long. By putting
this command in a comment block of a define or variable, the
initializer is shown unconditionally.

\section cmdattention \\attention { attention text }
\addindex \\attention
Starts a paragraph where a message that needs attention may be entered.
The paragraph will be indented.
The text of the paragraph has no special internal structure. All visual
enhancement commands may be used inside the paragraph.
Multiple adjacent \\attention commands will be joined into a single paragraph.
The \\attention command ends when a blank line or some other
sectioning command is encountered.
<hr>
\section cmdauthor \\author { list of authors }
\addindex \\author
Starts a paragraph where one or more author names may be entered.
The paragraph will be indented.
The text of the paragraph has no special internal structure. All visual
enhancement commands may be used inside the paragraph.
Multiple adjacent \\author commands will be joined into a single paragraph.
Each author description will start a new line. Alternatively, one \\author command
may mention several authors. The \\author command ends when a blank line or some other
sectioning command is encountered.
\par Example:
\verbinclude author.cpp

<hr>
\section cmdbrief \\brief {brief description}
\addindex \\brief
Starts a paragraph that serves as a brief description. For classes and files
the brief description will be used in lists and at the start of the
documentation page. For class and file members, the brief description
will be placed at the declaration of the member and prepended to the
detailed description. A brief description may span several lines (although
it is advised to keep it brief!). A brief description ends when a
blank line or another sectioning command is encountered. If multiple
\\brief commands are present they will be joined. See section
\ref cmdauthor "\\author" for an example.
Synonymous to \\short.
<hr>
\section cmdbug \\bug { bug description }
\addindex \\bug

Multiple adjacent \\bug commands will be joined into a single paragraph.
Each bug description will start on a new line.
Alternatively, one \\bug command may mention
several bugs. The \\bug command ends when a blank line or some other
sectioning command is encountered. See section \ref cmdauthor "\\author"
for an example.
<hr>
\section cmdcond \\cond [<section-label>]
\addindex \\cond
Starts a conditional section that ends with a corresponding
\ref cmdendcond "\\endcond" command, which is typically found in
another comment block. The main purpose of this pair of
commands is to (conditionally) exclude part of a file from processing
(in older version of doxygen this could only be achieved using C preprocessor commands).
The section between \\cond and \\endcond commands can be included by
adding its section label to the \ref cfg_enabled_sections "ENABLED_SECTIONS"
configuration option. If the section label is omitted, the section will
be excluded from processing unconditionally.
For conditional sections within a comment block one should
use a \ref cmdif "\\if" ... \ref cmdendif "\\endif" block.
Conditional sections can be nested. In this case a nested section will only
be shown if it and its containing section are included.
Here is an example showing the commands in action:
\verbatim
/** An interface */
class Intf
{
public:
/** A method */
virtual void func() = 0;
/// @cond TEST
/** A method used for testing */
virtual void test() = 0;
/// @endcond
};
/// @cond DEV
/*
* The implementation of the interface
*/
class Implementation : public Intf
{
public:
void func();
/// @cond TEST
void test();
/// @endcond
/// @cond
/** This method is obsolete and does
* not show up in the documentation.
*/
void obsolete();
/// @endcond
};
/// @endcond
\endverbatim
The output will be different depending on whether or not \c ENABLED_SECTIONS
contains \c TEST, or \c DEV
<hr>
\section cmddate \\date { date description }
\addindex \\date
Starts a paragraph where one or more dates may be entered.
The paragraph will be indented.
The text of the paragraph has no special internal structure. All visual
enhancement commands may be used inside the paragraph.
Multiple adjacent \\date commands will be joined into a single paragraph.
Each date description will start on a new line.
Alternatively, one \\date command may mention
several dates. The \\date command ends when a blank line or some other
sectioning command is encountered. See section \ref cmdauthor "\\author"
for an example.
<hr>
\section cmddeprecated \\deprecated { description }
\addindex \\deprecated
Starts a paragraph indicating that this documentation block belongs to
a deprecated entity. Can be used to describe alternatives,
expected life span, etc.
<hr>
\section cmddetails \\details {detailed decription}
\addindex \\details
Just like \ref cmdbrief "\\brief" starts a brief description, \\details
starts the detailed description. You can also start a new paragraph (blank line)
then the \\details command is not needed.
<hr>
\section cmdelse \\else
\addindex \\else
Starts a conditional section if the previous conditional section
was not enabled. The previous section should have been started with
a \c \\if, \c \\ifnot, or \c \\elseif command.
\sa \ref cmdif "\\if", \ref cmdifnot "\\ifnot", \ref cmdelseif "\\elseif",
\ref cmdendif "\\endif."
<hr>
\section cmdelseif \\elseif <section-label>
\addindex \\elseif
Starts a conditional documentation section if the previous section
was not enabled. A conditional section is
disabled by default. To enable it you must put the
section-label after the \ref cfg_enabled_sections "ENABLED_SECTIONS"
tag in the configuration
file. Conditional blocks can be nested. A nested section is
only enabled if all enclosing sections are enabled as well.
\sa sections \ref cmdendif "\\endif", \ref cmdifnot "\\ifnot",
\ref cmdelse "\\else", and \ref cmdelseif "\\elseif".
<hr>
\section cmdendcond \\endcond

sectioning command is encountered. See section \ref cmdfn "\\fn" for an
example.
\par Note:
the tag \\exceptions is a synonym for this tag.
<hr>
\section cmdif \\if <section-label>
\addindex \\if
Starts a conditional documentation section. The section ends
with a matching \c \\endif command. A conditional section is
disabled by default. To enable it you must put the
section-label after the \ref cfg_enabled_sections "ENABLED_SECTIONS"
tag in the configuration
file. Conditional blocks can be nested. A nested section is
only enabled if all enclosing sections are enabled as well.
\par Example:
\verbatim
/*! Unconditionally shown documentation.
* \if Cond1
* Only included if Cond1 is set.
* \endif
* \if Cond2
* Only included if Cond2 is set.
* \if Cond3
* Only included if Cond2 and Cond3 are set.
* \endif
* More text.
* \endif
* Unconditional text.
*/
\endverbatim
You can also use conditional commands inside aliases. To
document a class in two languages you could for instance use:
\par Example 2:
\verbatim
/*! \english
* This is English.
* \endenglish
* \dutch
* Dit is Nederlands.
* \enddutch
*/
class Example
{
};
\endverbatim
Where the following aliases are defined in the configuration file:
\verbatim
ALIASES = "english=\if english" \
"endenglish=\endif" \
"dutch=\if dutch" \
"enddutch=\endif"
\endverbatim
and \c ENABLED_SECTIONS can be used to enable either \c english or \c dutch.

for an example.
<hr>
\section cmdpar \\par [(paragraph title)] { paragraph }
\addindex \\par
If a paragraph title is given this command starts a paragraph with a
user defined heading. The heading extends until the end of the
line. The paragraph following the command will be indented.
If no paragraph title is given this command will start a new paragraph.
This will also work inside other paragraph commands
(like \\param or \\warning) without ending the that command.
The text of the paragraph has no special internal structure. All visual
enhancement commands may be used inside the paragraph.
The \\par command ends when a blank line or some other
sectioning command is encountered.
\par Example:
\verbinclude par.cpp

\endhtmlonly
<hr>
\section cmdparam \\param <parameter-name> { parameter description }
\addindex \\param
Starts a parameter description for a function parameter with name
\<parameter-name\>, followed by a description of the parameter.
The existence of the parameter is checked and a warning is given if
the documentation of this (or any other) parameter is missing or not
present in the function declaration or definition.
The \\param command has an optional attribute specifying the direction
of the attribute. Possible values are "in" and "out". Here is an example
for the function memcpy:
\code
/*!
* Copies bytes from a source memory area to a destination memory area,
* where both areas may not overlap.
* @param[out] dest The memory area to copy to.
* @param[in] src The memory area to copy from.
* @param[in] n The number of bytes to copy
*/

\section cmdxrefitem \\xrefitem <key> "(heading)" "(list title)" {text}
\addindex \\xrefitem
This command is a generalization of commands such as \ref cmdtodo "\\todo"
and \ref cmdbug "\\bug".
It can be used to create user-defined text sections which are automatically
cross-referenced between the place of occurrence and a related page,
which will be generated. On the related page all sections of
the same type will be collected.
The first argument \<key\> is a
identifier uniquely representing the type of the section. The second argument
is a quoted string representing the heading of the section under which
text passed as the forth argument is put. The third argument (list title)
is used as the title for the related page containing all items with the
same key. The keys "todo", "test", "bug", and "deprecated" are predefined.
To get an idea on how to use the \\xrefitem command and what its effect
is, consider the todo list, which (for English output) can be seen an
alias for the command
\verbatim \xrefitem todo "Todo" "Todo List" \endverbatim
Since it is very tedious and error-prone to repeat the first three
parameters of the command for each section, the command is meant to
be used in combination with the \ref cfg_aliases "ALIASES" option in the
configuration file.
To define a new command \\reminder, for instance, one should add the following
line to the configuration file:
\verbatim ALIASES += "reminder=\xrefitem reminders \"Reminder\" \"Reminders\"" \endverbatim
Note the use of escaped quotes for the second and third argument of the
\\xrefitem command.

This command ends a link that is started with the \\link command.
\sa section \ref cmdlink "\\link".
<hr>
\section cmdlink \\link <link-object>
\addindex \\link
The links that are automatically generated by doxygen always have the
name of the object they point to as link-text.
The \\link command can be used to create a link to an object (a file,
class, or member) with a user specified link-text.
The link command should end with an \\endlink command. All text between
the \\link and \\endlink commands serves as text for a link to
the \<link-object\> specified as the first argument of \\link.
See section \ref autolink "autolink" for more information on automatically
generated links and valid link-objects.
<hr>
\section cmdref \\ref <name> ["(text)"]
\addindex \\ref
Creates a reference to a named section, subsection, page or anchor.
For HTML documentation the reference command will generate a link to
the section. For a sections or subsections the title of the section will be
used as the text of the link. For anchor the optional text between quotes
will be used or \<name\> if no text is specified.
For \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ documentation the reference command will
generate a section number for sections or the text followed by a
page number if \<name\> refers to an anchor.
\sa
Section \ref cmdpage "\\page" for an example of the \\ref command.
<hr>
\section cmdsubpage \\subpage <name> ["(text)"]
\addindex \\subpage
This command can be used to create a hierarchy of pages. The
same structure can be made using the \ref cmddefgroup "\\defgroup" and
\ref cmdingroup "\\ingroup" commands, but for pages the \\subpage command
is often more convenient. The main page (see \ref cmdmainpage "\\mainpage")
is typically the root of hierarchy.
This command behaves similar as \ref cmdref "\\ref" in the sense that
it creates a reference to a page labeled \<name\> with the optional
link text as specified in the second argument.
It differs from the \\ref command in that it only works for pages,
and creates a parent-child relation between pages, where the
child page (or sub page) is identified by label \<name\>.
See the \ref cmdsection "\\section"
and \ref cmdsubsection "\\subsection" commands if you want to add structure
without creating multiple pages.
\note Each page can be the sub page of only one other page and
no cyclic relations are allowed, i.e. the page hierarchy must have a tree
structure.
Here is an example:
\verbatim
/*! \mainpage A simple manual
Some general info.
This manual is divided in the following sections:
- \subpage intro
- \subpage advanced "Advanced usage"
*/
//-----------------------------------------------------------
/*! \page intro Introduction

\section cmddontinclude \\dontinclude <file-name>
\addindex \\dontinclude
This command can be used to parse a source file without actually
verbatim including it in the documentation (as the \\include command does).
This is useful if you want to divide the source file into smaller pieces and
add documentation between the pieces.
Source files or directories can be specified using the
\ref cfg_example_path "EXAMPLE_PATH"
tag of doxygen's configuration file.
The class and member declarations and definitions inside the code fragment
are `remembered' during the parsing of the comment block that contained
the \\dontinclude command.
For line by line descriptions of source files, one or more lines
of the example can be displayed using the \\line, \\skip, \\skipline, and
\\until commands. An internal pointer is used for these commands. The
\\dontinclude command sets the pointer to the first line of the example.
\par Example:
\verbinclude include.cpp
Where the example file \c example_test.cpp looks as follows:
\verbinclude example_test.cpp
\htmlonly
Click <a href="$(DOXYGEN_DOCDIR)/examples/include/html/example.html">here</a>

<hr>
\section cmdinclude \\include <file-name>
\addindex \\include
This command can be used to include a source file as a block of code.
The command takes the name of an include file as an argument.
Source files or directories can be specified using the
\ref cfg_example_path "EXAMPLE_PATH"
tag of doxygen's configuration file.
If \<file-name\> itself is not unique for the set of example files specified
by the \ref cfg_example_path "EXAMPLE_PATH" tag, you can include part
of the absolute path to disambiguate it.
Using the \\include command is equivalent to inserting the file into
the documentation block and surrounding it
with \ref cmdcode "\\code" and \ref cmdendcode "\\endcode" commands.
The main purpose of the \\include command is to avoid code
duplication in case of example blocks that consist of multiple
source and header files.
For a line by line description of a source files use the
\ref cmddontinclude "\\dontinclude" command in combination with
the \ref cmdline "\\line", \ref cmdskip "\\skip",
\ref cmdskipline "\\skipline",
and \\until commands.
\note Doxygen's special commands do not work inside blocks of code.
It is allowed to nest C-style comments inside a code block though.
\sa section \ref cmdexample "\\example", \ref cmddontinclude "\\dontinclude", and
section \ref cmdverbatim "\\verbatim".
<hr>
\section cmdincludelineno \\includelineno <file-name>
\addindex \\includelineno
This command works the same way as \\include, but will add line
numbers to the included file.
\sa section \ref cmdinclude "\\include".
<hr>
\section cmdline \\line ( pattern )
\addindex \\line
This command searches line by line through the example that was last
included using \\include or \\dontinclude until it finds a non-blank
line. If that line contains the specified pattern, it is written
to the output.
The internal pointer that is used to keep track of the current line in
the example, is set to the start of the line following the non-blank
line that was found (or to the end of the example if no such line could
be found).
See section \ref cmddontinclude "\\dontinclude" for an example.
<hr>
\section cmdskip \\skip ( pattern )
\addindex \\skip
This command searches line by line through the example that was last
included using \\include or \\dontinclude until it finds a line that contains
the specified pattern.
The internal pointer that is used to keep track of the current line in
the example, is set to the start of the line that contains the specified
pattern (or to the end of the example if the pattern could not be found).
See section \ref cmddontinclude "\\dontinclude" for an example.
<hr>
\section cmdskipline \\skipline ( pattern )
\addindex \\skipline
This command searches line by line through the example that was last
included using \\include or \\dontinclude until it finds a line that contains
the specified pattern. It then writes the line to the output.
The internal pointer that is used to keep track of the current line in
the example, is set to the start of the line following the line that is
written (or to the end of the example if the pattern could not be found).
\par Note:
The command:
\verbatim\skipline pattern\endverbatim
is equivalent to:
\verbatim
\skip pattern
\line pattern\endverbatim
See section \ref cmddontinclude "\\dontinclude" for an example.
<hr>
\section cmduntil \\until ( pattern )
\addindex \\until
This command writes all lines of the example that was last
included using \\include or \\dontinclude to the output, until it finds
a line containing the specified pattern. The line containing the pattern
will be written as well.
The internal pointer that is used to keep track of the current line in
the example, is set to the start of the line following last written
line (or to the end of the example if the pattern could not be found).
See section \ref cmddontinclude "\\dontinclude" for an example.
<hr>
\section cmdverbinclude \\verbinclude <file-name>
\addindex \\verbinclude
This command includes the file \<file-name\> verbatim in the documentation.
The command is equivalent to pasting the file in the documentation and
placing \\verbatim and \\endverbatim commands around it.
Files or directories that doxygen should look for can be specified using the
\ref cfg_example_path "EXAMPLE_PATH" tag of doxygen's configuration file.
<hr>
\section cmdhtmlinclude \\htmlinclude <file-name>
\addindex \\htmlinclude
This command includes the file \<file-name\> as is in the HTML documentation.
The command is equivalent to pasting the file in the documentation and
placing \\htmlonly and \\endhtmlonly commands around it.
Files or directories that doxygen should look for can be specified using the
\ref cfg_example_path "EXAMPLE_PATH" tag of doxygen's configuration file.

\section cmda \\a <word>
\addindex \\a
Displays the argument \<word\> using a special font.
Use this command to refer to member arguments in the running text.
\par Example:
\verbatim
... the \a x and \a y coordinates are used to ...
\endverbatim
This will result in the following text:<br><br>
... the \a x and \a y coordinates are used to ...
<hr>
\section cmdarg \\arg { item-description }
\addindex \\arg
This command has one argument that continues until the first
blank line or until another \\arg is encountered.
The command can be used to generate a simple, not nested list of
arguments.
Each argument should start with a \\arg command.
\par Example:
Typing:
\verbatim
\arg \c AlignLeft left alignment.
\arg \c AlignCenter center alignment.
\arg \c AlignRight right alignment
No other types of alignment are supported.
\endverbatim
will result in the following text:<br><br>
<ul>
<li> \c AlignLeft left alignment.
<li> \c AlignCenter center alignment.
<li> \c AlignRight right alignment
</ul><br>
No other types of alignment are supported.
\par Note:
For nested lists, HTML commands should be used.
Equivalent to \ref cmdli "\\li"
<hr>
\section cmdb \\b <word>
\addindex \\b
Displays the argument \<word\> using a bold font.
Equivalent to \<b\>word\</b\>.
To put multiple words in bold use \<b\>multiple words\</b\>.
<hr>
\section cmdc \\c <word>
\addindex \\c
Displays the argument \<word\> using a typewriter font.
Use this to refer to a word of code.
Equivalent to \<tt\>word\</tt\>.
\par Example:
Typing:
\verbatim
... This function returns \c void and not \c int ...
\endverbatim
will result in the following text:<br><br>
... This function returns \c void and not \c int ...
Equivalent to \ref cmdp "\\p"
To have multiple words in typewriter font use \<tt\>multiple words\</tt\>.
<hr>
\section cmdcode \\code
\addindex \\code
Starts a block of code. A code block is treated differently
from ordinary text. It is interpreted as C/C++ code. The names of the
classes and members that are documented are automatically replaced by
links to the documentation.
\sa section \ref cmdendcode "\\endcode", section \ref cmdverbatim "\\verbatim".
<hr>
\section cmdcopydoc \\copydoc <link-object>
\addindex \\copydoc
Copies a documentation block from the object specified by \<link-object\>
and pastes it at the location of the command. This command can be useful
to avoid cases where a documentation block would otherwise have to be
duplicated or it can be used to extend the documentation of an inherited
member.
The link object can point to a member (of a class, file or group),
a class, a namespace, a group, a page, or a file (checked in that order).
Note that if the object pointed to is a member (function, variable,
typedef, etc), the compound (class, file, or group) containing it
should also be documented for the copying to work.
To copy the documentation for a member of a
class for instance one can put the following in the documentation
\verbatim
/*! @copydoc MyClass::myfunction()
* More documentation.
*/
\endverbatim
if the member is overloaded, you should specify the argument types
explicitly (without spaces!), like in the following:
\verbatim
/*! @copydoc MyClass::myfunction(type1,type2) */
\endverbatim
Qualified names are only needed if the context in which the documentation
block is found requires them.
The copydoc command can be used recursively, but cycles in the copydoc
relation will be broken and flagged as an error.
Note that both the brief description and the detailed documentation
will be copied. See \ref cmdcopybrief "\\cmdcopybrief" and
\ref cmdcopydetails "\\cmdcopydetails" for copying only the brief or
detailed part of the comment block.
<hr>
\section cmdcopybrief \\copybrief <link-object>
Works in a similar way as \ref cmdcopydoc "\\copydoc" but will
only copy the brief description, not the detailed documentation.
<hr>
\section cmdcopydetails \\copydetails <link-object>
Works in a similar way as \ref cmdcopydoc "\\copydoc" but will
only copy the detailed documentation, not the brief description.
<hr>
\section cmddot \\dot
\addindex \\dot
Starts a text fragment which should contain a valid description of a
dot graph. The text fragment ends with \ref cmdenddot "\\enddot".
Doxygen will pass the text on to dot and include the resulting
image (and image map) into the output.
The nodes of a graph can be made clickable by using the URL attribute.
By using the command \\ref inside the URL value you can conveniently
link to an item inside doxygen. Here is an example:
\code
/*! class B */
class B {};
/*! class C */
class C {};
/*! \mainpage
*
* Class relations expressed via an inline dot graph:
* \dot
* digraph example {
* node [shape=record, fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=10];
* b [ label="class B" URL="\ref B"];
* c [ label="class C" URL="\ref C"];
* b -> c [ arrowhead="open", style="dashed" ];
* }
* \enddot
* Note that the classes in the above graph are clickable
* (in the HTML output).
*/
\endcode
<hr>
\section cmdmsc \\msc
\addindex \\msc
Starts a text fragment which should contain a valid description of a
message sequence chart. See http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/ for examples.
The text fragment ends with \ref cmdendmsc "\\endmsc".
\note The text fragment should only include the part of the message
sequence chart that is
within the <code>msc {...}</code> block.
\note You need to install the <code>mscgen</code> tool, if you want to use this
command.
Here is an example of the use of the \\msc command.
\code
/** Sender class. Can be used to send a command to the server.
* The receiver will acknowlegde the command by calling Ack().
* \msc
* Sender,Receiver;
* Sender->Receiver [label="Command()", URL="\ref Receiver::Command()"];
* Sender<-Receiver [label="Ack()", URL="\ref Ack()", ID="1"];
* \endmsc
*/
class Sender
{
public:
/** Acknowledgement from server */
void Ack(bool ok);
};
/** Receiver class. Can be used to receive and execute commands.
* After execution of a command, the receiver will send an acknowledgement
* \msc
* Receiver,Sender;
* Receiver<-Sender [label="Command()", URL="\ref Command()"];
* Receiver->Sender [label="Ack()", URL="\ref Sender::Ack()", ID="1"];

public:
/** Executable a command on the server */
void Command(int commandId);
};
\endcode
<hr>
\section cmddotfile \\dotfile <file> ["caption"]
\addindex \\dotfile
Inserts an image generated by dot from \<file\> into the documentation.
The first argument specifies the file name of the image.
doxygen will look for files in the paths (or files) that you specified
after the \ref cfg_dotfile_dirs "DOTFILE_DIRS" tag.
If the dot file is found it will be used as an input file to the dot tool.
The resulting image will be put into the correct output directory.
If the dot file name contains spaces you'll have to put quotes ("...") around it.
The second argument is optional and can be used to specify the caption
that is displayed below the image. This argument has to be specified
between quotes even if it does not contain any spaces. The quotes are
stripped before the caption is displayed.
<hr>
\section cmde \\e <word>
\addindex \\e
Displays the argument \<word\> in italics.
Use this command to emphasize words.
\par Example:
Typing:
\verbatim
... this is a \e really good example ...
\endverbatim
will result in the following text:<br><br>
... this is a \e really good example ...
Equivalent to \ref cmdem "\\em".
To emphasis multiple words use \<em\>multiple words\</em\>.
<hr>
\section cmdem \\em <word>
\addindex \\em
Displays the argument \<word\> in italics.
Use this command to emphasize words.
\par Example:
Typing:
\verbatim

\addindex \\f\$
Marks the start and end of an in-text formula.
\sa section \ref formulas "formulas" for an example.
<hr>
\section cmdfbropen \\f[
\addindex \\f[
Marks the start of a long formula that is displayed
centered on a separate line.

<hr>
\section cmdfbrclose \\f]
\addindex \\f]
Marks the end of a long formula that is displayed
centered on a separate line.
\sa section \ref cmdfbropen "\\f[" and section \ref formulas "formulas".
<hr>
\section cmdfcurlyopen \\f{environment}{
Marks the start of a formula that is in a specific environment.
\note The second \{ is optional and is only to help editors (such as Vim) to
do proper syntax highlighting by making the number of opening and closing braces
the same.
<hr>
\section cmdfcurlyclose \\f}
Marks the end of a formula that is in a specific environment.
<hr>
\section cmdhtmlonly \\htmlonly
\addindex \\htmlonly
Starts a block of text that will be verbatim included in the
generated HTML documentation only. The block ends with a
endhtmlonly command.
This command can be used to include HTML code that is too complex
for doxygen (i.e. applets, java-scripts, and HTML tags that
require attributes). You can use the \\latexonly and \\endlatexonly
pair to provide a proper \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ alternative.
\b Note:
environment variables (like \$(HOME) ) are resolved inside a
HTML-only block.
\sa section \ref cmdmanonly "\\manonly" and section
\ref cmdlatexonly "\\latexonly".
<hr>
\section cmdimage \\image <format> <file> ["caption"] [<sizeindication>=<size>]
\addindex \\image
Inserts an image into the documentation. This command is format
specific, so if you want to insert an image for more than one
format you'll have to repeat this command for each format.
The first argument specifies the output format. Currently, the
following values are supported: \c html and \c latex.
The second argument specifies the file name of the image.
doxygen will look for files in the paths (or files) that you specified
after the \ref cfg_image_path "IMAGE_PATH" tag.
If the image is found it will be copied to the correct output directory.
If the image name contains spaces you'll have to put quotes ("...") around it.
You can also specify an absolute URL instead of a file name, but then
doxygen does not copy the image nor check its existance.
The third argument is optional and can be used to specify the caption
that is displayed below the image. This argument has to be specified
on a single line and between quotes even if it does not contain any
spaces. The quotes are stripped before the caption is displayed.
The fourth argument is also optional and can be used to specify the
width or height of the image. This is only useful
for \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ output
(i.e. format=<code>latex</code>). The \c sizeindication can be
either \c width or \c height. The size should be a valid
size specifier in \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ (for example <code>10cm</code> or
<code>6in</code> or a symbolic width like <code>\\textwidth</code>).
Here is example of a comment block:
\verbatim
/*! Here is a snapshot of my new application:
* \image html application.jpg
* \image latex application.eps "My application" width=10cm
*/
\endverbatim
And this is an example of how the relevant part of the configuration file
may look:
\verbatim
IMAGE_PATH = my_image_dir
\endverbatim
\warning The image format for HTML is limited to what your
browser supports. For \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$, the image format
must be Encapsulated PostScript (eps).
<br><br>
Doxygen does not check if the image is in the correct format.
So \e you have to make sure this is the case!
<hr>
\section cmdlatexonly \\latexonly
\addindex \\latexonly
Starts a block of text that will be verbatim included in the
generated \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ documentation only. The block ends with a
endlatexonly command.
This command can be used to include \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ code that is too
complex for doxygen (i.e. images, formulas, special characters). You can
use the \\htmlonly and \\endhtmlonly pair to provide a proper HTML
alternative.
\b Note:
environment variables (like \$(HOME) ) are resolved inside a
\f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$-only block.
\sa section \ref cmdlatexonly "\\latexonly"
and section \ref cmdhtmlonly "\\htmlonly".
<hr>
\section cmdmanonly \\manonly
\addindex \\manonly
Starts a block of text that will be verbatim included in the
generated MAN documentation only. The block ends with a
endmanonly command.
This command can be used to include groff code directly into
MAN pages. You can use the \\htmlonly and \\latexonly and
\\endhtmlonly and \\endlatexonly pairs to provide proper
HTML and \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ alternatives.
\sa section \ref cmdhtmlonly "\\htmlonly" and section
\ref cmdlatexonly "\\latexonly".
<hr>
\section cmdli \\li { item-description }
\addindex \\li
This command has one argument that continues until the first
blank line or until another \\li is encountered.
The command can be used to generate a simple, not nested list of
arguments.
Each argument should start with a \\li command.
\par Example:
Typing:
\verbatim
\li \c AlignLeft left alignment.
\li \c AlignCenter center alignment.
\li \c AlignRight right alignment
No other types of alignment are supported.
\endverbatim
will result in the following text:<br><br>
<ul>
<li> \c AlignLeft left alignment.
<li> \c AlignCenter center alignment.
<li> \c AlignRight right alignment
</ul><br>
No other types of alignment are supported.
\par Note:
For nested lists, HTML commands should be used.
Equivalent to \ref cmdarg "\\arg"
<hr>
\section cmdn \\n
\addindex \\n
Forces a new line. Equivalent to \<br\> and inspired by
the printf function.
<hr>
\section cmdp \\p <word>
\addindex \\p
Displays the parameter \<word\> using a typewriter font.
You can use this command to refer to member function parameters in
the running text.
\par Example:
\verbatim
... the \p x and \p y coordinates are used to ...
\endverbatim
This will result in the following text:<br><br>
... the \p x and \p y coordinates are used to ...
Equivalent to \ref cmdc "\\c"
<hr>
\section cmdverbatim \\verbatim
\addindex \\verbatim
Starts a block of text that will be verbatim included in both the
HTML and the
\f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ documentation. The block should end with a
\\endverbatim block. All commands are disabled in a verbatim block.
\warning Make sure you include a \\endverbatim command for each
\\verbatim command or the parser will get confused!
\sa section \ref cmdcode "\\code", and section \ref cmdverbinclude "\\verbinclude".
<hr>
\section cmdxmlonly \\xmlonly
\addindex \\xmlonly
Starts a block of text that will be verbatim included in the
generated XML output only. The block ends with a
endxmlonly command.
This command can be used to include custom XML tags.
\sa section \ref cmdhtmlonly "\\htmlonly" and section
\ref cmdlatexonly "\\latexonly".
<hr>
\section cmdbackslash \\\\
\addindex \\\\
This command writes a backslash character (\\) to the HTML and
\f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ output. The backslash has to be escaped in some
cases because doxygen uses it to detect commands.
<hr>
\section cmdat \\\@
\addindex \\\@
This command writes an at-sign (\@) to the HTML and
\f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ output. The at-sign has to be escaped in some cases
because doxygen uses it to detect JavaDoc commands.
<hr>
\section cmdtilde \\~[LanguageId]
\addindex \\~
This command enables/disables a language specific filter. This can be
used to put documentation for different language into one comment block
and use the \c OUTPUT_LANGUAGE tag to filter out only a specific language.
Use \\~language_id to enable output for a specific language only and
\\~ to enable output for all languages (this is also the default mode).
Example:
\verbatim
/*! \~english This is english \~dutch Dit is Nederlands \~german Dieses ist
deutsch. \~ output for all languages.
*/
\endverbatim
<hr>
\section cmdamp \\\&
\addindex \\\&
This command writes the \& character to output.
This character has to be escaped because it has a special meaning in HTML.
<hr>
\section cmddollar \\\$
\addindex \\\$
This command writes the \$ character to the output.
This character has to be escaped in some cases, because it is used to expand
environment variables.
<hr>
\section cmdhash \\\#
\addindex \\\#
This command writes the \# character to the output. This
character has to be escaped in some cases, because it is used to refer
to documented entities.
<hr>
\section cmdlt \\\<
\addindex \\\<
This command writes the \< character to the output.
This character has to be escaped because it has a special meaning in HTML.
<hr>
\section cmdgt \\\>
\addindex \\\>
This command writes the \> character to the output. This
character has to be escaped because it has a special meaning in HTML.
<hr>
\section cmdperc \\\%
\addindex \\\%
This command writes the \% character to the output. This
character has to be escaped in some cases, because it is used to
prevent auto-linking to word that is also a documented class or struct.
<hr>
\section cmdquot \\"
\addindex \\\"
This command writes the \" character to the output. This
character has to be escaped in some cases, because it is used in pairs
to indicate an unformated text fragment.
