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. For example: + + \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. For example: + + \code + HTML.postheader = "<a href=\"index.html\">Home</a>" + \endcode + + If an entry spans many lines, use a backslash at the end of every + line but the last: + + \code + sourcedirs = kernel \ + tools \ + widgets + \endcode + + \section1 Configuration Variables + + \section2 Alphabetical List + + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#alias}{alias}, + \l {23-qdoc-configuration-cppvariables.html#Cpp.ignoredirectives} + {Cpp.ignoredirectives}, + \l {23-qdoc-configuration-cppvariables.html#Cpp.ignoretoken} + {Cpp.ignoretokens}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#definesvariable}{defines}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#edition}{edition}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#exampledirs}{exampledirs}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#examples}{examples}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#examples.fileextensions} + {examples.fileextensions}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#extraimages}{extraimages}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#falsehoods}{falsehoods}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#headerdirs}{headerdirs}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#headers}{headers}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#headers.fileextensions} + {headers.fileextensions}, + \l {24-qdoc-configuration-htmlvariables.html#HTML.footer}{HTML.footer}, + \l {24-qdoc-configuration-htmlvariables.html#HTML.postheader} + {HTML.postheader}, + \l {24-qdoc-configuration-htmlvariables.html#HTML.style}{HTML.style}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#imagedirs}{imagedirs}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#images}{images}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#images.fileextensions} + {images.fileextensions}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#language}{language}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#macro}{macro}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#outputdir}{outputdir}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#outputformats} + {outputformats}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#slow}{slow}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#sourcedirs}{sourcedirs}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#sources}{sources}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#sources.fileextensions} + {sources.fileextensions}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#spurious}{spurious}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#tabsize}{tabsize}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#version}{version}, + \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#versionsym}{versionsym} + + \section2 Categories + + \list + \o \l {General Variables} + \o \l {C++ Specific Variables} + \o \l {HTML Specific Variables} + \endlist + + \section1 Configuration File Examples + + \list + \o A minimum configuration file: \l minimum.qdocconf + \o The Qt configuration file: \l qt.qdocconf + \endlist +*/ + +/*! + \page 21-1-minimum-qdocconf.html + \previouspage QDoc Configuration + \contentspage QDoc Manual - Table of Contents + + \title minimum.qdocconf + + \quotefile examples/minimum.qdocconf +*/ + +/*! + \page 21-2-qt-qdocconf.html + \previouspage QDoc Configuration + \contentspage QDoc Manual - Table of Contents + + \title qt.qdocconf + + \quotefile files/qt.qdocconf +*/ + +/*! + \page 22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html + \previouspage QDoc Configuration + \contentspage QDoc Manual - Table of Contents + \nextpage Creating Help Project Files + + \title General Variables + + With the general QDoc configuration variables, you can define + where QDoc will find the various source files it needs to generate + the documentation, as well as the directory to put the generated + documentation.
