/*! \page faq Frequently Asked Questions
<ol>
<li><b>How do get information on the index page in HTML?</b>
<p>
You should use the \\mainpage command inside a comment block like this:
\verbatim
/*! \mainpage My Personal Index Page
*
* \section intro Introduction
*
* This is the introduction.
*
* \section install Installation
*
* \subsection step1 Step 1: Opening the box
*
* etc...
*/
\endverbatim
<li><b>When I set EXTRACT_ALL to NO non of my functions are shown in the documentation.</b></li>
In order for global functions, variables, enums, typedefs, and defines
to be documented you should document the file in which these commands are
located using a comment block containing a \\file (or \@file)
command.
Alternatively, you can put all members in a group (or module)
using the \\ingroup command and then document the group using a comment
block containing the \\defgroup command.
<li><b>How can I avoid that some code fragment is parsed by Doxyen?</b>
<p>
You can use Doxygen's preprocessor for this:
If you put
\verbatim
#ifndef DOXYGEN_SHOULD_SKIP_THIS
/* code that must be skipped by Doxygen */
#endif /* DOXYGEN_SHOULD_SKIP_THIS */
\endverbatim
around the blocks that should be hidden and put:
\verbatim
PREDEFINED = DOXYGEN_SHOULD_SKIP_THIS
\endverbatim
in the config file then all blocks should be skipped by Doxygen as long
as <code>PREPROCESSING = YES</code>.
<li><b>How can I make doxygen ignore nasty macro's? </b>
Look at section \ref preprocessing for the answer.
<li><b>How can I change what's after the <code>\#include</code> in the class documentation?</b>
You can document your class like
\verbatim
/*! \class MyClassName include.h path/include.h
*
* Docs for MyClassName
*/
\endverbatim
To make doxygen put <br><br>
<code>
#include <path/include.h>
</code>
in the documentation of the class MyClassName regardless of the name of the actual
header file in which the definition of MyClassName is contained.
If you want doxygen to show that the include file should be included using
brackets you should type:
\verbatim
/*! \class MyClassName include.h "path/include.h"
*
* Docs for MyClassName
*/
\endverbatim
<li><b>How can I use tag files in combination with compressed HTML</b>
If you want to refer from one compressed HTML file
\c a.chm to another compressed HTML file
called \c b.chm, the
link in \c a.chm must have the following format:
\verbatim
<a href="b.chm::/file.html">
\endverbatim
Unfortunately this only works if both compressed HTML files are in the same
directory.
As a result you must rename the generated \c index.chm files for all projects
into something unique and put all \c .chm files in one directory.
Suppose you have a project \e a referring to a project \e b using tag file
\c b.tag, then you could rename the \c index.chm for project \e a into
\c a.chm and the \c index.chm for project \e b into \c b.chm. In the
configuration file for project \e a you write:
\verbatim
TAGFILES = b.tag=b.chm::
\endverbatim
or you can use \c installdox to set the links as follows:
\verbatim
installdox -lb.tag@b.chm::
\endverbatim
<li><b>I don't like the quick index that is put above each HTML page, what do I do?</b>
You can disable the index by setting DISABLE_INDEX to YES. Then you can
put in your own header file by writing your own header and feed that to
HTML_HEADER.
<li><b>The overall HTML output looks different, while I only wanted to
use my own html header file</b>
You probably forgot to include the stylesheet <code>doxygen.css</code> that
doxygen generates. You can include this by putting
\verbatim
<LINK HREF="doxygen.css" REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css">
\endverbatim
In the HEAD section of the HTML page.
<li><b>Why does doxygen use Qt?</b>
The most important reason is too have a platform abstraction for most
Unices and Windows by means of the QFile, QFileInfo, QDir, QDate,
QTime and QIODevice classes.
Another reason is for the nice and bug free utility classes, like QList,
QDict, QString, QArray, QTextStream, QRegExp etc.
The GUI front-end doxywizard uses Qt for... well... the GUI!
<li><b>Can I use doxygen on my Java code?</b>
No, at the moment there is no support for Java. I suggest to
use Sun's JavaDoc instead.
<li><b>How can I exclude all test directories from my directory tree?</b>
Simply put an exclude pattern like this in the configuration file:
\verbatim
EXCLUDE_PATTERNS = */test/*
\endverbatim
<li><b>Doxygen automatically generates a link to the
class MyClass somewhere in the running text.
How do I prevent that at a certain place?</b>
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.
