\title The QDoc Configuration File

- you must create a QDoc configuration file to tell QDoc where to find
- them.
+ Before running QDoc, you must create a QDoc configuration file to
+ tell QDoc where to find the source files that contain the QDoc

+ QDoc on the command line:
- \list
- \o \l {Supporting Derived Projects}
- \o \l {Compatibility Issues}
- \endlist

- a configuration file on the command line:

\section1 General Description

- and examples, where to put generated documentation etc. The
+ The configuration file is a list of entries of the form \e
+ {"variable = value"}. Using the configuration variables, you can
+ define where QDoc should find the various source files, images and
+ examples, where to put generated documentation etc. The
configuration file can also contain directives like \c
include. For an example, see the \l minimum.qdocconf file.
- In addition, you can use some particular configuration variables
- to make QDoc support derived projects, i.e make the projects, for
- example Qt Solutions, contain links to the online Qt
- documentation. These variables are documented in the \l
- {Supporting Derived projects} section. In this section you can
- also find out how to use these variables to support your derived
- projects.
-
- If some of the variable keys have the same values, they can be set
- at the same time.
-
- \code
- {header, source}dirs = kernel
- \endcode
-
- is equivalent to
-
- \code
- headerdirs = kernel
- sourcedirs = kernel
- \endcode
-
- A variable's value can be set using either '=' or '+='. The
- difference is that '=' overrides any previously set value, while
- '+=' only adds the value to the previously set ones.
-
- In general, some of the variables accepts a list of strings as
- their value, while others only accept a single string. If you
- provide a variable of the latter type with several strings they
- will simply be concatenated. The quotes around the value string
- are optional. But applying them allows you to use special
- characters like '=' and ' \" ' within the string.
+ You can also use configuration variables to get QDoc to support
+ \l{Supporting Derived Projects} {derived projects}, i.e QDoc can
+ generate links in your project's documentation to elements in the
+ Qt online documentation. See the \l {Supporting Derived projects}
+ section.
+
+ The value of a configuration variable can be set using either '='
+ or '+='. The difference is that '=' overrides the previous value,
+ while '+=' adds a new value to the current one.
+
+ Some configuration variables accept a list of strings as their
+ value, e.g.
+ \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#sourcedirs-variable}
+ {\c{sourcedirs}}, while others accept only a single string. Double
+ quotes around a value string are optional, but including them allows
+ you to use special characters like '=' and ' \" ' within the valuem
+ string, e.g.:
\code
HTML.postheader = "<a href=\"index.html\">Home</a>"
