The source code begins on a new line, rendered in the code. \bold{Note:} Although all these commands are for rendering C++ code, the \l{07-0-qdoc-commands-includingexternalcode.html#snippet-command} {\\snippet} and \l{07-0-qdoc-commands-includingexternalcode.html#codeline-command} {\\codeline} commands are preferred over the others. These commands allow equivalent code snippets for other Qt language bindings to be substituted for the C++ snippets in the documentation. \target code-command \section1 \\code The \\code and \\endcode commands enclose a snippet of source code. \note The \l {c-command} {\\c} command can be used for short code fragments within a sentence. The \\code command is for longer code snippets. It renders the code verbatim in a separate paragraph in the code font. When processing any of the \\code, \l {badcode-command} {\\badcode}, \l {newcode-command} {\\newcode} or \l {oldcode-command} {\\oldcode} commands, QDoc removes all indentation that is common for the verbatim code blocks within a \c{/}\c{*!} ... \c{*}\c{/} comment before it adds the standard indentation. For that reason the recommended style is to use 8 spaces for the verbatim code contained within these commands \note This doesn't apply to externally quoted code using the \l {quotefromfile-command} {\\quotefromfile} or \l {quotefile-command} {\\quotefile} command. \code / *! \code #include| Trolltech | Trolltech |

The brief text is used to introduce the documentation of the associated object, and in lists generated using the \l {generatelist-command} {\\generatelist} command. The \\brief command can be used in two significant different ways: \l {brief class} {One for classes, namespaces and header files}, and \l {brief-property} {one for properties and variables}. \target brief-property When the \\brief command is used to describe a property or a variable, the brief text must be a sentence fragment starting with "whether" (for a boolean property or variable) or starting with "the" (for any other property or variable).

When using the \\expire command, QDoc will emit a warning when the current date is larger than the specified date. The command accepts one argument; the argument's format is yyyy-mm-dd. For example: \code / *! \page porting.html \title Porting to Qt 3.x \expire 2004-12-31 This document describes porting applications from Qt 2.x to Qt 3.x. The Qt 3.x series is not binary compatible with the 2.x series. ... * / \endcode If you run QDoc on 4 July 2005, it will emit the warning \quotation porting.qdoc:6: Documentation expired 185 days ago \endquotation \target generatelist-command \section1 \\generatelist The \\generatelist command expands to a list of various documentation or links to documentation. Below is an example from the Qt Reference Documentation: \code / *! \page classes.html \title All Classes For a shorter list that only includes the most frequently used classes, see \l{Qt's Main Classes}. For a list of Qt 3 support classes, see \l{Qt3Support Classes}. \generatelist classes * / \endcode This generates the \l {All Classes} page. The command accepts the following arguments: \target table example \section2 \c annotatedclasses The \c annotatedclasses argument provides a table containing the names of all the classes, and a description of each class. Each class name is a link to the class's reference documentation. For example: \table \row \o QDial \o Rounded range control (like a speedometer or potentiometer) \row \o QDialog \o The base class of dialog windows \row \o QDir \o Access to directory structures and their contents \endtable A C++ class is documented with the \l {class-command} {\\class} command. The annotation for the class is taken from the argument of the class comment's \l {brief-command} {\\brief} command. \target list example \section2 \c classes The \c classes argument provides a complete alphabetical list of the classes. Each class name is a link to the class's reference documentation. This command is uded to generate the \l {classes.html} {All Classes} page this way: \code / *! \page classes.html \title All Classes \ingroup classlists \brief If you know the name of the class you want, find it here. This is a list of all Qt classes. For a list of the classes provided for compatibility with Qt3, see \l{Qt3 Support Classes}. For classes that have been deprecated, see the \l{Obsolete Classes} list. \generatelist classes * / \endcode A C++ class is documented with the \l {class-command} {\\class} command. \section2 \c classesbymodule When this argument is used, a second argument is required, which specifies the module whose classes are to be listed. QDoc generates a table containing those classes. Each class is listed with the text of its \l{brief-command} {\\brief} command. This command is used to generate the \l {phonon-module.html} {Phonon Module} page this way. \code / *! \page phonon-module.html \module Phonon \title Phonon Module \ingroup modules \brief The Phonon module contains namespaces and classes for multimedia functionality. \generatelist{classesbymodule Phonon} ... * / \endcode Each class that is a member of the specified module must be marked with the \l {inmodule-command} {\\inmodule} command in its \\class comment. \section2 \c compatclasses The \c compatclasses argument generates a list in alphabetical order of the support classes. It is normally used only to generate the \l {compatclasses.html} {Qt3 Support Classes} page this way: \code / *! \page compatclasses.html \title Qt3 Support Classes \ingroup classlists \brief These classes ease the porting of code from Qt 3 to Qt 4. These are the classes that Qt provides for compatibility with Qt 3. Most of these are provided by the Qt3Support module. \generatelist compatclasses * / \endcode A support class is identified in the \\class comment with the \l {compat-command} {\\compat} command. \section2 \c functionindex The \c functionindex argument provides a complete alphabetical list of all the documented member functions. It is normally used only to generate the \l {functions.html} {Qt function index} page this way: \code / *! \page functions.html \title All Functions \ingroup funclists \brief All documented Qt functions listed alphabetically with a link to where each one is declared. This is the list of all documented member functions and global functions in the Qt API. Each function has a link to the class or header file where it is declared and documented. \generatelist functionindex * / \endcode \section2 \c legalese The \c legalese argument tells QDoc to generate a complete list of licenses in the documentation. Each license is identified using the \l {legalese-command} {\\legalese} command. This command is used to generate the \l {licenses.html} {Qt license information} page this way: \code / *! \page licenses.html \title Other Licenses Used in Qt \ingroup licensing \brief Information about other licenses used for Qt components and third-party code. Qt contains some code that is not provided under the \l{GNU General Public License (GPL)}, \l{GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)} or the \l{Qt Commercial Edition}{Qt Commercial License Agreement}, but rather under specific licenses from the original authors. Some pieces of code were developed by Nokia and others originated from third parties. This page lists the licenses used, names the authors, and links to the places where it is used. Nokia gratefully acknowledges these and other contributions to Qt. We recommend that programs that use Qt also acknowledge these contributions, and quote these license statements in an appendix to the documentation. See also: \l{Licenses for Fonts Used in Qt for Embedded Linux} \generatelist legalese * / \endcode \section2 \c mainclasses The \c mainclasses argument tells QDoc to generate an alphabetical list of the main classes. A class is marked as a main class by including a \l {mainclass-command} {\\mainclass} command in the \\class comment. \note The Qt documentation no longer includes a main classes page, but you can generate one for your main classes if you want it. \section2 \c overviews The \c overviews argument is used to tell QDoc to generate a list by concatenating the contents of all the \l {group-command} {\\group} pages. Qt uses it to generate the \l {overviews.html} {overviews} page this way: \code / *! \page overviews.html \title All Overviews and HOWTOs \generatelist overviews * / \endcode \section2 \c related The \c related argument is used in combination with the \l {group-command} {\\group} and \l {ingroup-command} {\\ingroup} commands to list all the overviews related to a specified group. For example, the page for the \l {Programming with Qt} {Programming with Qt} page is generated this way: \code / *! \group qt-basic-concepts \title Programming with Qt \brief The basic architecture of the Qt cross-platform application and UI framework. Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework for writing web-enabled applications for desktop, mobile, and embedded operating systems. This page contains links to articles and overviews explaining key components and techniuqes used in Qt development. \generatelist {related} * / \endcode Each page listed on this group page contains the command: \code \ingroup qt-basic-concepts \endcode \section2 \c service The \c service argument tells QDoc to generate an alphabetical list of the services. Each service name is a link to the service's reference documentation. A service is identified with the \l {service-command} {\\service} command. \note This command and the \l {service-command} {\\service} command are not used in the Qt documentation. \target if-command \section1 \\if The \\if command and the corresponding \\endif command enclose parts of a QDoc comment that only will be included if the condition specified by the command's argument is true. The command reads the rest of the line and parses it as an C++ #if statement. \code / *! \if defined(opensourceedition) \bold{Note:} This edition is for the development of \l{Qt Open Source Edition} {Free and Open Source} software only; see \l{Qt Commercial Editions}. \endif * / \endcode This QDoc comment will only be rendered if the \c opensourceedition preprocessor symbol is defined, and specified in the \l {defines-variable} {defines} variable in the configuration file to make QDoc process the code within #ifdef and #endif: \code defines = opensourceedition \endcode You can also define the preprocessor symbol manually on the command line. For more information see the documentation of the \l {defines-variable} {defines} variable. See also \l{endif-command} {\\endif}, \l{else-command} {\\else}, \l {defines-variable} {defines} and \l {falsehoods-variable} {falsehoods}. \target endif-command \section1 \\endif The \\endif command and the corresponding \\if command enclose parts of a QDoc comment that will be included if the condition specified by the \l {if-command} {\\if} command's argument is true. For more information, see the documentation of the \l {if-command} {\\if} command. See also \l{if-command} {\\if}, \l{else-command} {\\else}, \l {defines-variable} {defines} and \l {falsehoods-variable} {falsehoods}. \target else-command \section1 \\else The \\else command specifies an alternative if the condition in the \l {if-command} {\\if} command is false. The \\else command can only be used within \l {if-command} {\\if...\\endif} commands, but is useful when there is only two alternatives. \code / *! The Qt 3 support library is provided to keep old source code working. In addition to the \c Qt3Support classes, Qt 4 provides compatibility functions when it's possible for an old API to cohabit with the new one. \if !defined(QT3_SUPPORT) \if defined(QT3_SUPPORTWARNINGS) The compiler emits a warning when a compatibility function is called. (This works only with GCC 3.2+ and MSVC 7.) \else To use the Qt 3 support library, you need to have the line QT += qt3support in your .pro file (qmake automatically define the QT3_SUPPORT symbol, turning on compatibility function support). You can also define the symbol manually (e.g., if you don't want to link against the \c Qt3Support library), or you can define \c QT3_SUPPORT_WARNINGS instead, telling the compiler to emit a warning when a compatibility function is called. (This works only with GCC 3.2+ and MSVC 7.) \endif \endif * / \endcode If the \c QT3_SUPPORT is defined, the comment will be rendered like this: \quotation The Qt 3 support library is provided to keep old source code working.

This command is often assigned the alias, \e {input}, in the QDoc configuration file, e.g. \e {alias.include = input}. The command is useful when some snippet of commands and text is to be used in multiple places in the documentation. In that case, move the snippet into a separate file and use the \\include command wherever you want to insert the snippet into the documentation. To prevent QDoc from reading the file as a stand-alone page of documentation, we recommend that you use the \c .qdocinc extension for these \e {include} files. The command can have either one or two arguments. The first argument is always a file name. The contents of the file must be QDoc input, i.e. a sequence of QDoc commands and text, but without the enclosing qdoc comment \c{/}\c{*!} ... \c{*}\c{/} delimeters. If you want to include the entire named file, don't use the second argument. If you want to include only part of the file, see the \l{2-argument-form}{two argument form} below. Here is an example of the one argument form: \code / *! \page corefeatures.html \title Core Features \include examples/signalandslots.qdocinc \include examples/objectmodel.qdocinc \include examples/layoutmanagement.qdocinc * / \endcode Here are links to the \c .qdocinc files used above: \l{signalandslots.qdocinc}, \l{objectmodel.qdocinc}, \l{layoutmanagement.qdocinc}. QDoc renders this page \l{corefeatures.html} {as shown here}. \target 2-argument-form} \section2 \\include filename snippet-identifier \span {class="newStuff"} {(new)} It is kind of a pain to make a separate \c .qdocinc file for every QDoc include snippet you want to use in multiple places in the documentation, especially given that you probably have to put the copyright/license notice in every one of these files. So if you have lots of these include snippets, you can put them all in a single file if you want, and surround each one with: \code //! [snippet-id1] QDoc commands and text... //! [snippet-id1] //! [snippet-id2] More QDoc commands and text... //! [snippet-id2] \endcode Then you can use the two-argument form of the command: \code \input examples/signalandslots.qdocinc snippet-id2 \input examples/objectmodel.qdocinc another-snippet-id \endcode It works as expected. The sequence of QDoc commands and text found between the two tags with the same name as the second argument is sent to the QDoc input stream. You can even nest these snippets, although it's not clear why you would want to do that. \target meta-command \section1 \\meta The \\meta command is the QDoc equivalent to the HTML \c meta tag. The command accepts two arguments: The first argument (the following word) is equivalent to the HTML meta tag's \e name variable, and the second argument (the rest of the line) is equivalent to the tag's \e contents variable. \code / *! \meta author Summerfield \section1 Automatic Dialogs \abstract This article shows how to maintain sets of "attributes" (QVariant values), and how to allow users to view and edit them using dialogs that are created dynamically based on the attributes and their types. \endabstract The Attributes class described in this article holds a set of QVariants, and can create a dialog to present the QVariants to the user in an appropriate way. ... * / \endcode QDoc renders this as: \code ... ... \endcode \target omit-command \section1 \\omit The \\omit command and the correspondning \\endomit command delimit parts of the documentation that you want QDoc to skip.

Some topic commands allow you to create documentation pages that aren't tied to any underlying source code element. When QDoc processes a QDoc comment, it tries to connect the comment to an element in the source code by first looking for a topic command that names the source code element. If there is no topic command, QDoc tries to connect the comment to the source code element that immediately follows the comment. If it can't do either of these and if there is no topic command that indicates the comment does not have an underlying source code element (e.g. \l{page-command} {\\page}), then the comment is discarded. \target topic argument The name of the thing being documented is the unique argument for each topic command. The naming convention is to use the complete name. \code \enum QComboBox::InsertPolicy \endcode The \l {fn-command} {\\fn} command is a special case. For the \l {fn-command} {\\fn} command, use the function's signature including the class qualifier. \code \fn void QGraphicsWidget::setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowFlags wFlags) \endcode A topic command can appear anywhere in a comment but must stand alone on its own line. Best practice is to put the topic commend at the top of the comment. If the argument spans several lines, make sure that each line (except the last one) is ended with a backslash. In addition QDoc counts parentheses, which means that if it encounters a '(' it considers everything until the closing ')' as its argument. If a topic command is repeated with different arguments, the same documentation will appear for both the units. \code / *! \fn void PreviewWindow::setWindowFlags() \fn void ControllerWindow::setWindowFlags() Sets the widgets flags using the QWidget::setWindowFlags() function. Then runs through the available window flags, creating a text that contains the names of the flags that matches the flags parameter, displaying the text in the widgets text editor. * / \endcode The \c PreviewWindow::setWindowFlags() and \c ControllerWindow::setWindowFlags() functions will get the same documentation. \target class-command \section1 \\class The \\class command is for documenting a C++ class. The argument is the complete name of the class. The command tells QDoc that a class is part of the public API, and lets you enter a detailed description. \code / *! \class QMap::iterator \brief The QMap::iterator class provides an STL-style non-const iterator for QMap and QMultiMap. QMap features both \l{STL-style iterators} and \l{Java-style iterators}.

For example, the documentation for the \c QMap::Iterator class is written to \c qmap-iterator.html. \target framework The file contains the class description from the \\class comment, plus the documentation generated from QDoc comments for all the class members, i.e. a list of the class's types, properties, functions, signals, and slots.

The argument is the full name of the enum type. The enum values are documented in the \\enum comment using the \l {value-command} {\\value} command. If an enum value is not documented with \\value, QDoc emits a warning. These warnings can be avoided using the \l {omitvalue-command} {\\omitvalue} command to tell QDoc that an enum value should not be documented. The enum documentation will be included on the class reference page, header file page, or namespace page where the enum type is defined. For example, consider the enum type \c {Corner} in the Qt namespace: \code enum Corner { TopLeftCorner = 0x00000, TopRightCorner = 0x00001, BottomLeftCorner = 0x00002, BottomRightCorner = 0x00003 #if defined(QT3_SUPPORT) && !defined(Q_MOC_RUN) ,TopLeft = TopLeftCorner, TopRight = TopRightCorner, BottomLeft = BottomLeftCorner, BottomRight = BottomRightCorner #endif }; \endcode This enum can be cocumented this way: \code / *! \enum Qt::Corner This enum type specifies a corner in a rectangle: \value TopLeftCorner The top-left corner of the rectangle. \value TopRightCorner The top-right corner of the rectangle. \value BottomLeftCorner The bottom-left corner of the rectangle. \value BottomRightCorner The bottom-right corner of the rectangle. \omitvalue TopLeft \omitvalue TopRight \omitvalue BottomLeft \omitvalue BottomRight * / \endcode Note the inclusion of the namespace qualifier.

If the adress changes, you only need to change the argument of the \\externalpage command. \target fn-command \section1 \\fn (function) The \\fn command is for documenting a function. The argument is the function's signature, including its return type, const-ness, and list of formal arguments with types. If the named function doesn't exist, QDoc emits a warning. \note The \\fn command is QDoc's default command, i.e. when no topic command can be found in a QDoc comment, QDoc tries to tie the documentation to the following code as if it is the documentation for a function. Hence, it is normally not necessary to include this command when documenting a function, if the function's QDoc comment is written immediately above the function implementation in the \c .cpp file. But it must be present when documenting an inline function in the \c .cpp file that is implemented in the \c .h file. \code / *! \fn bool QToolBar::isAreaAllowed(Qt::ToolBarArea area) const Returns true if this toolbar is dockable in the given \a area; otherwise returns false. * / \endcode QDoc renders this as: \quotation \raw HTML Image Viewer Example

The argument is the group name. A class is included in a group by using the \l {ingroup-command} {\\ingroup} command. Overview pages can also be related to a group using the same command, but the list of overview pages must be requested explicitly using the \l {generatelist-command} {\\generatelist} command (see example below). The \\group command is typically followed by a \l {title-command} {\\title} command and a short introduction to the group. The HTML page for the group is written to a \c {.html} file put in\e{group}.html. Each class name is listed as a link to the class reference page followed by the text from the class's \l {brief-command} {\\brief} texts. \code / *! \group io \title Input/Output and Networking These classes are used to handle input and output to and from external devices, processes, files etc. as well as manipulating files and directories. * / \endcode QDoc generates a group page in \c{io.html} that will look like this: \quotation \raw HTML Input/Output and Networking

The argument is the name of the header file. The HTML page is written to a \c {.html} file constructed from the header file aregument. The documentation for a function, type, or macro that is declared in the header file being documented is included in the header file page using the \l {relates-command} {\\relates} command.

There are three levels of support: \c threadsafe, \c reentrant and \c nonreentrant. The default is \c nonreentrant which means that the associated class or function cannot be called by multiple threads. \c Reentrant and \c threadsafe are levels primarily used for classes. \c Reentrant means that all the functions in the referenced class can be called simultaneously by multiple threads, provided that each invocation of the functions reference unique data. While \c threadsafe means that all the functions in the referenced class can be called simultaneously by multiple threads even when each invocation references shared data. When a class is marked \l {reentrant-command} {\\reentrant} or \l {threadsafe-command} {\\threadsafe}, functions in that class can be marked \c nonreentrant using the \l {nonreentrant-command} {\\nonreentrant} command. \section1 Example \target reentrant-example \code / *! \class QLocale \brief The QLocale class converts between numbers and their string representations in various languages. \reentrant \ingroup i18n \ingroup text \mainclass QLocale is initialized with a language/country pair in its constructor and offers number-to-string and string-to-number conversion functions similar to those in QString. ... * / / *! \nonreentrant Sets the global default locale to \a locale.

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 = "Home" \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 \section1 Variable List \list \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#alias-variable} {alias} \o \l {23-qdoc-configuration-cppvariables.html#Cpp.ignoredirectives-variable} {Cpp.ignoredirectives} \o \l {23-qdoc-configuration-cppvariables.html#Cpp.ignoretokens-variable} {Cpp.ignoretokens} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#defines-variable} {defines} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#edition-variable} {edition} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#exampledirs-variable} {exampledirs} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#examples-variable} {examples} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#examples.fileextensions-variable} {examples.fileextensions} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#extraimages-variable} {extraimages} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#falsehoods-variable} {falsehoods} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#headerdirs-variable} {headerdirs} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#headers-variable} {headers} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#headers.fileextensions-variable} {headers.fileextensions} \o \l {24-qdoc-configuration-htmlvariables.html#HTML.footer-variable} {HTML.footer} \o \l {24-qdoc-configuration-htmlvariables.html#HTML.postheader-variable} {HTML.postheader} \o \l {24-qdoc-configuration-htmlvariables.html#HTML.style-variable} {HTML.style} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#imagedirs-variable} {imagedirs} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#images-variable} {images} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#images.fileextensions-variable} {images.fileextensions} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#language-variable} {language} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#macro-variable} {macro} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#outputdir-variable} {outputdir} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#outputformats-variable} {outputformats} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#slow-variable} {slow} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#sourcedirs-variable} {sourcedirs} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#sources-variable} {sources} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#sources.fileextensions-variable} {sources.fileextensions} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#spurious-variable} {spurious} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#tabsize-variable} {tabsize} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#version-variable} {version} \o \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#versionsym-variable} {versionsym} \endlist \section1 Categories \list \o \l {Generic Configuration Variables} \o \l {C++ Specific Configuration Variables} \o \l {HTML Specific Configuration 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 qt.qdocconf \contentspage Table of Contents \nextpage Table of Contents \title minimum.qdocconf \quotefile examples/minimum.qdocconf */ /*! \page 21-2-qt-qdocconf.html \previouspage Compatibility Issues \contentspage Table of Contents \nextpage minimum.qdocconf \title qt.qdocconf \quotefile files/qt.qdocconf */ /*! \page 22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html \previouspage The QDoc Configuration File \contentspage Table of Contents \nextpage Creating Help Project Files \title Generic Configuration 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. You can also do some minor manipulation of QDoc itself, controlling its output and processing behavior. \target alias-variable \section1 alias The \c alias variable renames a QDoc command. The general syntax is \tt {alias.\e{original-command-name} = \e temporary-command-name}. \code alias.i = e \endcode This renames the built-in command \\i (italics) to \\e. The \c alias variable is often used for compatibility reasons; for more information see the \l {Compatibility Issues} {compatibility section}. See also \l {macro-command} {macro}. \target codeindent-variable \section1 codeindent The \c codeindent variable specifies the level of indentation that QDoc uses when writing code snippets. QDoc originally used a hard-coded value of four spaces for code indentation to ensure that code snippets could be easily distinguished from surrounding text. Since we can use \l{HTML Specific Configuration Variables#HTML.stylesheets} {stylesheets} to adjust the appearance of certain types of HTML elements, this level of indentation is not always required. \target defines-variable \section1 defines The \c defines variable specifies the C++ preprocessor symbols that QDoc will recognize and respond to. When a preprocessor symbol is specified using the \c defines variable, you can also use the \l {if-command} {\\if} command to enclose documentation that only will be included if the preprocessor symbol is defined. The values of the variable are regular expressions (see QRegExp for details). By default, no symbol is defined, meaning that code protected with #ifdef...#endif will be ignored. \code defines = Q_QDOC \ QT_.*_SUPPORT \ QT_.*_LIB \ QT_COMPAT \ QT3_SUPPORT \ Q_WS_.* \ Q_OS_.* \ Q_BYTE_ORDER \ __cplusplus \endcode This ensures that QDoc will process the code that requires these symbols to be defined. For example: \code #ifdef Q_WS_WIN HDC getDC() const; void releaseDC(HDC) const; #endif \endcode Since the Q_WS_.* regular expression (specified using the \c defines variable) matches Q_WS_WIN, QDoc will process the code within #ifdef and #endif in our example. You can also define preprocessor symbols manually on the command line using the -D option. For example: \code currentdirectory$ qdoc3 -Dconsoleedition qt.qdocconf \endcode In this case the -D option ensures that the \c consoleedition preprocessor symbol is defined when QDoc processes the source files defined in the qt.qdocconf file. See also \l {falsehoods-variable} {falsehoods} and \l {if-command} {\\if}. \target edition-variable \section1 edition The \c edition variable specifies which modules are included in each edition of a package, and provides QDoc with information to provide class lists for each edition. This feature is mostly used when providing documentation for Qt packages. The \c edition variable is always used with a particular edition name to define the modules for that edition: \code edition.Console = QtCore QtNetwork QtSql QtXml edition.Desktop = QtCore QtGui QtNetwork QtOpenGL QtSql QtXml \ QtDesigner QtAssistant Qt3Support QAxContainer \ QAxServer edition.DesktopLight = QtCore QtGui Qt3SupportLight \endcode In the above examples, the \c Console edition only includes the contents of four modules. Only the classes from these modules will be used when the \l{Miscellaneous#generatelist-command} {generatelist} command is used to generate a list of classes for this edition: \code \generatelist{classesbyedition Console} \endcode \target exampledirs-variable \section1 exampledirs The \c exampledirs variable specifies the directories containing the source code of the example files. The \l {examples-variable} {examples} {examples} and \l {exampledirs-variable} {exampledirs} variables are used by the \l {quotefromfile-command} {\\quotefromfile}, \l {quotefile-command} {\\quotefile} and \l {example-command} {\\example} commands. If both the \l {examples-variable} {examples} and \l {exampledirs-variable} {exampledirs} variables are defined, QDoc will search in both, first in \l {examples-variable} {examples} then in \l {exampledirs-variable} {exampledirs}. QDoc will search through the directories in the specified order, and accept the first matching file it finds. It will only search in the specified directories, \e not in subdirectories. \code exampledirs = $QTDIR/doc/src \ $QTDIR/examples \ $QTDIR \ $QTDIR/qmake/examples examples = $QTDIR/examples/widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp \endcode When processing \code \quotefromfile widgets/calculator/calculator.cpp \endcode QDoc will then see if there exists a file called \c calculator.cpp listed as a value in the \l {examples} {\c examples} variable. If it doesn't, it will search in the \c exampledirs variable, and first see if there exists a file called \code $QTDIR/doc/src/widgets/calculator/calculator.cpp \endcode If it doesn't, QDoc will continue looking for a file called \code $QTDIR/examples/widgets/calculator/calculator.cpp \endcode and so forth. See also \l examples. \target examples-variable \section1 examples The \c examples variable allows you to specify individual example files in addition to those located in the directories specified by the \l {exampledirs-variable} {\c exampledirs} variable. The \c examples and \l {exampledirs-variable} {\c exampledirs} variables are used by the \l {quotefromfile-command} {\\quotefromfile}, \l {quotefile-command} {\\quotefile} and \l {example} {\\example} commands. If both the \c examples and \l {exampledirs-variable} {\c exampledirs} variables are defined, QDoc will search in both, first in \c examples then in \l {exampledirs-variable} {\c exampledirs}. QDoc will search through the values listed for the \c examples variable, in the specified order, and accept the first one it finds. For an extensive example, see the \l {exampledirs-variable} {\c exampledirs} command. But note that if you know the file is listed in the \c examples variable, you don't need to specify its path: \code \quotefromfile calculator.cpp \endcode See also \l {exampledirs-variable} {exampledirs}. \target examples.fileextensions-variable \section1 examples.fileextensions The \c examples.fileextensions variable specifies the file extensions that qdoc will look for when collecting example files for display in the documentation. The default extensions are *.cpp, *.h, *.js, *.xq, *.svg, *.xml and *.ui. However, if The extensions are given as standard wildcard expressions. You can add a file extension to the filter using '+='. For example: \code examples.fileextensions += *.qrc \endcode See also \l{headers.fileextensions}. \target extraimages-variable \section1 extraimages The \c extraimages variable tells QDoc to incorporate specific images in the generated documentation. QDoc will not recognize images used within HTML (or any other markup language). If we want the images to be copied from the directories specified by \l {imagedirs} {\c imagedirs} (the images in question must be located in these directories) to the output directory, we must specify the images using the \c extraimages variable. The general syntax is \tt {extraimages.\e{format} = \e image}. The file extension is optional. For example, in \l qt.qdocconf we use a couple of images within the HTML.postheader variable which value is pure HTML. For that reason, these images are specified using the \c extraimages variable: \code extraimages.HTML = qt-logo \endcode See also \l images and \l imagedirs. \target falsehoods-variable \section1 falsehoods The \c falsehoods variable defines the truth value of specified preprocessor symbols as false. If this variable is not set for a preprocessor symbol, QDoc assumes its truth value is true. The exception is '0', which value always is false. QDoc will recognize, and is able to evaluate, the following preprocessor syntax: \code #ifdef NOTYET ... #endif #if defined (NOTYET) ... #end if \endcode However, faced with unknown syntax like \code #if NOTYET ... #endif \endcode QDoc will evaluate it as true by default, \e unless the preprocessor symbol is specified within the \c falsehoods variable entry: \code falsehoods = NOTYET \endcode See also \l defines. \target generateindex-variable \section1 generateindex The \c generateindex variable contains a boolean value that specifies whether to generate an index file when HTML documentation is generated. By default, an index file is always generated with HTML documentation, so this variable is typically only used when disabling this feature (by setting the value to \c false) or when enabling index generation for the WebXML output (by setting the value to \c true). \target headerdirs-variable \section1 headerdirs The \c headerdirs variable specifies the directories containing the header files associated with the \c .cpp source files used in the documentation. \code headerdirs = $QTDIR/src \ $QTDIR/extensions/activeqt \ $QTDIR/extensions/motif \ $QTDIR/tools/designer/src/lib/extension \ $QTDIR/tools/designer/src/lib/sdk \ $QTDIR/tools/designer/src/lib/uilib \endcode When executed, the first QDoc will do is to read through the headers specified in the \l {headers} {\c headers} variable, and the ones located in the directories specified in the \c headerdir variable (including all subdirectories), building an internal structure of the classes and their functions. Then it will read through the sources specified in the \l {sources-variable} {\c sources}, and the ones located in the directories specified in the \l {sourcedirs-variable} {\c sourcedirs} varible (including all subdirectories), merging the documentation with the structure it retrieved from the header files. If both the \c headers and \c headerdirs variables are defined, QDoc will read through both, first \l {headers} {\c headers} then \c headerdirs. In the specified directories, QDoc will only read the files with the fileextensions specified in the \l {headers.fileextensions} {\c headers.fileextensions} variable. The default extensions are *.ch, *.h, *.h++, *.hh, *.hpp and *.hxx". The files specified by \l {headers} {\c headers} will be read independent of their fileextensions. See also \l headers and \l headers.fileextensions. \target headers-variable \section1 headers The \c headers variable allows you to specify individual header files in addition to those located in the directories specified by the \l {headerdirs} {\c headerdirs} variable. \code headers = $QTDIR/src/gui/widgets/qlineedit.h \ $QTDIR/src/gui/widgets/qpushbutton.h \endcode When processing the \c headers variable, QDoc behaves in the same way as it does when processing the \l {headerdirs} {\c headerdirs} variable. For more information, see the \l {headerdirs} {\c headerdirs} variable. See also \l headerdirs. \target headers.fileextensions-variable \section1 headers.fileextensions The \c headers.fileextensions variable specify the extension used by the headers. When processing the header files specified in the \l {headerdirs} {\c headerdirs} variable, QDoc will only read the files with the fileextensions specified in the \c headers.fileextensions variable. In this way QDoc avoid spending time reading irrelevant files. The default extensions are *.ch, *.h, *.h++, *.hh, *.hpp and *.hxx. The extensions are given as standard wildcard expressions. You can add a file extension to the filter using '+='. For example: \code header.fileextensions += *.H \endcode \warning The above assignment may not work as described. See also \l headerdirs. \target imagedirs-variable \section1 imagedirs The \c imagedirs variable specifies the directories containing the images used in the documentation. The \l {images} {\c images} and \c imagedirs variables are used by the \l {image-command} {\\image} and \l {inlineimage-command} {\\inlineimage} commands. If both the \l {images} {\c images} and \c imagedirs variables are defined, QDoc will search in both, first in \l {images} {\c images} then in \c imagedirs. QDoc will search through the directories in the specified order, and accept the first matching file it finds. It will only search in the specified directories, \e not in subdirectories. \code imagedirs = $QTDIR/doc/src/images \ $QTDIR/examples images = $QTDIR/doc/src/images/calculator-example.png \endcode When processing \code \image calculator-example.png \endcode QDoc will then see if there exists a file called calculator-example.png listed as a value in the \c images variable. If it doesn't, it will search in the \c imagedirs variable, and first see if there exists a file called \code $QTDIR/doc/src/images/calculator-example.png \endcode If it doesn't, QDoc will look for a file called \code $QTDIR/examples/calculator-example.png \endcode You can filter the images in an image directory using the \l {images.fileextensions} {\c images.fileextensions} variable. The general idea behind the \l {images.fileextensions} {\c images.fileextensions} variable is to enable different image format for different output format. \warning The \l {images.fileextensions} {\c images.fileextensions} variable's functionality is preliminay since QDoc at this point only support HTML. See also \l images and \l images.fileextensions. \target images-variable \section1 images The \c images variable allows you to specify individual image files in addition to those located in the directories specified by the \l {imagedirs} {\c imagedirs} variable. \code images = $QTDIR/doc/src/images/calculator-example.png \endcode When processing the \c images variable, QDoc behaves in the same way as it does when processing the \l {imagedirs} {\c imagedirs} variable. For more information, see the \l {imagedirs} {\c imagedirs} variable. See also \l imagedirs and \l images.fileextensions. \target images.fileextensions-variable \section1 images.fileextensions The images.fileextensions variable filters the files within an image directory. The variable's values (the extensions) are given as standard wildcard expressions. The general syntax is: \tt {images.fileextensions.\e{format} = *.\e{extension}}. The idea is to enable different image format for different output format. \code images.fileextensions.HTML = *.png images.fileextensions.LOUT = *.eps \endcode Then, when processing the \l {image-command} {\\image} and \l {inlineimage-command} {\\inlineimage} commands, QDoc will only search for files with extensions specified in the output format's associated image extension variable. \warning This is preliminary functionality since QDoc at this point only support HTML. The default extensions for HTML are *.png, *.jpg, *.jpeg and *.gif. You can add a file extension to the filter using '+='. For example: \code images.fileextensions.HTML += *.eps \endcode See also \l imagedirs and \l images. \target language-variable \section1 language The \c language variable specifies the language of the source code that is used in the documentation. Currently, C++ is the only language that QDoc understands. It is also the default language, and doesn't really need to be specified. But for example in \l qt.qdocconf: \code language = Cpp \endcode identifies the language of the Qt source code as C++. \target macro-variable \section1 macro The \c macro variable can be used to create your own QDoc commands. The general syntax is \tt {macro.\e{command} = "\e{definition}}". The definition can be described using QDoc syntax. In addition it is possible to provide an HTML definition by appending .HTML to the variable. For example in \l qt.qdocconf: \code macro.gui = "\\bold" macro.raisedaster.HTML = "*" \endcode makes sure that the \\gui command renders its argument using a bold font, and that \\raisedaster renders a '*'. \target naturallanguage-variable \section1 naturallanguage The \c naturallanguage variable specifies the natural language used for the documentation generated by qdoc. \code naturallanguage = zh-Hans \endcode By default, the natural language is \c en for compatibility with legacy documentation. qdoc will add the natural language information to the HTML it generates, using the \c lang and \c xml:lang attributes. See also \l {sourceencoding-variable} {sourceencoding}, \l {outputencoding-variable} {outputencoding}, \l{http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_7} {C.7. The lang and xml:lang Attributes} and \l{http://www.w3.org/TR/i18n-html-tech-lang/#ri20040429.113217290} {Best Practice 13: Using Hans and Hant codes}. \target outputdir-variable \section1 outputdir The \c outputdir variable specifies the directory where QDoc will put the generated documentation. In qt.qdocconf: \code outputdir = $QTDIR/doc/html \endcode locates the generated Qt reference documentation in $QTDIR/doc/html. For example, the documentation of the QWidget class is located in \code $QTDIR/doc/html/qwidget.html \endcode The associated images will be put in an \c images subdirectory. \warning When running QDoc multiple times using the same output directory, all files from the previous run will be lost. \target outputencoding-variable \section1 outputencoding The \c outputencoding variable specifies the encoding used for the documentation generated by qdoc. \code outputencoding = UTF-8 \endcode By default, the output encoding is \c ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) for compatibility with legacy documentation. When generating documentation for some languages, particularly non-European languages, this is not sufficient and an encoding such as UTF-8 is required. qdoc will encode HTML using this encoding and generate the correct declarations to indicate to browsers which encoding is being used. The \l naturallanguage configuration variable should also be specified to provide browsers with a complete set of character encoding and language information. See also \l outputencoding and \l naturallanguage. \target outputformats-variable \section1 outputformats The \c outputformats variable specifies the format of the generated documentation. Currently, QDoc only supports the HTML format. It is also the default format, and doesn't need to be specified. \target outputprefixes \section1 outputprefixes The \c outputprefixes variable specifies a mapping between types of files and the prefixes to prepend to the HTML file names in the generated documentation. \code outputprefixes = QML outputprefixes.QML = qt-components- \endcode By default, files containing the API documentation for QML elements or components are prefixed with "qml-". In the above example, the prefix "qt-components-" is used instead. \target qhp-variable \section1 qhp The \c qhp variable is used to define the information to be written out to Qt Help Project (\c{qhp}) files. See the \l{Creating Help Project Files} chapter for information about this process. \target slow-variable \section1 slow The \c slow variable specifies whether QDoc should do time-consuming processing, such as syntax highlighting. The default value is false. \note This option has been replaced by the \l{syntaxhighlighting} option. For compatibility, the \c -slow command-line option has been retained. This has the effect of enabling syntax highlighting. \target sourcedirs-variable \section1 sourcedirs The \c sourcedirs variable specifies the directories containing the \c .cpp or \c .qdoc files used in the documentation. For example in \l qt.qdocconf \code sourcedirs = $QTDIR/src \ $QTDIR/doc/src \ $QTDIR/extensions/activeqt \ $QTDIR/extensions/motif \ $QTDIR/tools/designer/src/lib/extension \ $QTDIR/tools/designer/src/lib/sdk \ $QTDIR/tools/designer/src/lib/uilib \endcode When executed, the first QDoc will do is to read through the headers specified in the \l {header-command} {\c header} variable, and the ones located in the directories specified in the \c headerdir variable (including all subdirectories), building an internal structure of the classes and their functions. Then it will read through the sources specified in the \l {sources} {\c sources}, and the ones located in the directories specified in the \l {sourcedirs} {\c sourcedirs} varible (including all subdirectories), merging the documentation with the structure it retrieved from the header files. If both the \c sources and \c sourcedirs variables are defined, QDoc will read through both, first \l {sources} {\c sources} then \c sourcedirs. In the specified directories, QDoc will only read the files with the fileextensions specified in the \l {sources.fileextensions} {\c sources.fileextensions} variable. The default extensions are *.c++, *.cc, *.cpp and *.cxx. The files specified by \l {sources} {\c sources} will be read independent of their fileextensions. See also \l {sources-variable} {sources} and \l {sources.fileextensions-variable} {sources.fileextensions}. \target sourceencoding-variable \section1 sourceencoding The \c sourceencoding variable specifies the encoding used for the source code and documentation. \code sourceencoding = UTF-8 \endcode By default, the source encoding is \c ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) for compatibility with legacy documentation. For some languages, particularly non-European languages, this is not sufficient and an encoding such as UTF-8 is required. Although qdoc will use the encoding to read source and documentation files, limitations of C++ compilers may prevent you from using non-ASCII characters in source code comments. In cases like these, it is possible to write API documentation completely in documentation files. See also \l {naturallanguage-variable} {naturallanguage} and \l {outputencoding-variable} {outputencoding}. \target sources-variable \section1 sources The \c sources variable allows you to specify individual source files in addition to those located in the directories specified by the \l {sourcedirs-variable} {sourcedirs} variable. \code sources = $QTDIR/src/gui/widgets/qlineedit.cpp \ $QTDIR/src/gui/widgets/qpushbutton.cpp \endcode When processing the \c sources variable, QDoc behaves in the same way as it does when processing the \l {sourcedirs-variable} {sourcedirs} variable. For more information, see the \l {sourcedirs-variable} {sourcedirs} variable. See also \l {sourcedirs-variable} {sourcedirs}. \target sources.fileextensions-variable \section1 sources.fileextensions The \c sources.fileextensions variable filters the files within a source directory. When processing the source files specified in the \l {sourcedirs} {\c sourcedirs} variable, QDoc will only read the files with the fileextensions specified in the \c sources.fileextensions variable. In this way QDoc avoid spending time reading irrelevant files. The default extensions are *.c++, *.cc, *.cpp and *.cxx. The extensions are given as standard wildcard expressions. You can add a file extension to the filter using '+='. For example: \code sources.fileextensions += *.CC \endcode \warning The above assignment may not work as described. See also \l {sourcedirs-variable} {sourcedirs} and \l (sources-variable} {sources}. \target spurious-variable \section1 spurious The \c spurious variable excludes specified QDoc warnings from the output. The warnings are specified using standard wildcard expressions. \code spurious = "Cannot find .*" \ "Missing .*" \endcode makes sure that warnings matching either of these expressions, will not be part of the output when running QDoc. For example would the following warning be omitted from the output: \code qt-4.0/src/opengl/qgl_mac.cpp:156: Missing parameter name \endcode \target syntaxhighlighting \section1 syntaxhighlighting The \c syntaxhighlighting variable specifies whether QDoc should perform syntax highlighting on source code quoted in the documentation it generates. \code syntaxhighlighting = true \endcode will enable syntax highlighting for all supported programming languages. \target tabsize-variable \section1 tabsize The \c tabsize variable defines the size of a tab character. \code tabsize = 4 \endcode will give the tab character the size of 4 spaces. The default value of the variable is 8, and doesn't need to be specified. \target tagfile-variable \section1 tagfile The \c tagfile variable specifies the Doxygen tag file to be written when HTML is generated. \target version-variable \section1 version The \c version variable specifies the version number of the documented software. \code version = 4.0.1 \endcode When a version number is specified (using the \tt{\l version} or \tt {\l versionsym} variables in a \c .qdocconf file), it is accessible through the corresponding \\version command for use in the documentation. \warning The \\version command's functionality is not fully implemented; currently it only works within raw HTML code. See also \l versionsym. \target versionsym-variable \section1 versionsym The \c versionsym variable specifies a C++ preprocessor symbol that defines the version number of the documented software. For example in \l qt.qdocconf: \code versionsym = QT_VERSION_STR \endcode QT_VERSION_STR is defined in qglobal.h as follows \code #define QT_VERSION_STR "4.0.1" \endcode When a version number is specified (using the \tt{\l version} or \tt {\l versionsym} variables in a \c .qdocconf file), it is accessible through the corresponding \\version command for use in the documentation. \warning The \\version command's functionality is not fully implemented; currently it only works within raw HTML code. See also \l {version} {\\version}. */ /*! \page 22-creating-help-project-files.html \previouspage Generic Configuration Variables \contentspage Table of Contents \nextpage C++ Specific Configuration Variables \title Creating Help Project Files \section1 Overview Starting with Qt 4.4, Qt Assistant uses a different system for managing Qt documentation that requires QDoc to generate inventories of files in a format that is similar to the old style DCF format, but with additional features. Instead of hard-coding information about the documentation sets for Qt, QDoc allows configuration variables to be used to specify which pages are to be used in each documentation set it generates. These are specified as subvariables of the \c qch variable with each set declared using a unique identifier as a subvariable. For example, the configuration file for the Qt documentation defines a \c Qt documentation set by specifying information about the set as subvariables with the \c{qhp.Qt} prefix: \code qhp.Qt.file = qt.qhp qhp.Qt.namespace = com.trolltech.qt.440 qhp.Qt.virtualFolder = qdoc qhp.Qt.indexTitle = Qt Reference Documentation qhp.Qt.indexRoot = qhp.Qt.extraFiles = classic.css images/qt-logo.png qhp.Qt.filterAttributes = qt 4.4.0 qtrefdoc qhp.Qt.customFilters.Qt.name = Qt 4.4.0 qhp.Qt.customFilters.Qt.filterAttributes = qt 4.4.0 qhp.Qt.subprojects = classes overviews examples qhp.Qt.subprojects.classes.title = Classes qhp.Qt.subprojects.classes.indexTitle = Qt's Classes qhp.Qt.subprojects.classes.selectors = class qhp.Qt.subprojects.overviews.title = Overviews qhp.Qt.subprojects.overviews.indexTitle = All Overviews and HOWTOs qhp.Qt.subprojects.overviews.selectors = fake:page,group,module qhp.Qt.subprojects.examples.title = Tutorials and Examples qhp.Qt.subprojects.examples.indexTitle = Qt Examples qhp.Qt.subprojects.examples.selectors = fake:example \endcode To create a table of contents for a manual, create a subproject with a \c{type} property and set it to \c{manual}. The page in the documentation referred to by the \c{indexTitle} property must contain a list of links that acts as a table of contents for the whole manual. QDoc will take the information in this list and create a table of contents for the subproject. For example, the configuration file for Qt Creator defines only one subproject for its documentation, including all the documentation in a single manual: \code qhp.QtCreator.subprojects = manual qhp.QtCreator.subprojects.manual.title = Qt Creator Manual qhp.QtCreator.subprojects.manual.indexTitle = Qt Creator Manual qhp.QtCreator.subprojects.manual.type = manual \endcode In this example, the page entitled "Qt Creator Manual" contains a nested list of links to pages in the documentation which is duplicated in Qt Assistant's Contents tab. */ /*! \page 23-qdoc-configuration-cppvariables.html \previouspage Creating Help Project Files \contentspage Table of Contents \nextpage HTML Specific Configuration Variables \title C++ Specific Configuration Variables The C++ specific configuration variables are provided to avoid erroneous documentation due to non-standard C++ constructs. \target Cpp.ignoredirectives-variable \section1 Cpp.ignoredirectives The \c Cpp.ignoredirectives variable makes QDoc ignore the specified non-standard constructs, within C++ source code.

The format of the variable values are raw HTML. \target HTML.footer-variable \section1 HTML.footer The \c HTML.footer variable defines the content of the generated HTML documentation's footer. The footer is rendered at the bottom of the generated documentation page. The variable's value is given as raw HTML code enclosed by quotation marks. Note that if the value spans several lines, each line needs to be enclosed by quotation marks. For example in \l qt.qdocconf: \code HTML.footer = "
Qt for Embedded Linux \n" \ ... "" \endcode The complete variable entry in \l qt.qdocconf provides the standard footer of the \l {http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.0/index.html} {Qt Reference Documentation}. \target HTML.postheader-variable \section1 HTML.postheader The \c HTML.postheader variable defines the content of the generated HTML documentation's postheader. The header is rendered at the top of the generated documentation page. The variable's value is given as raw HTML enclosed by quotation marks. Note that if the value spans several lines, each line needs to be enclosed by quotation marks. For example in \l qt.qdocconf: \code HTML.postheader = "" \ "" \ "" \endcode The complete variable entry in \l qt.qdocconf provides the standard header of the \l {http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.0/index.html} {Qt Reference Documentation}. \target HTML.style-variable \section1 HTML.style The HTML.style variable defines the style for the generated HTML documentation. The variable's value is given as raw HTML enclosed by quotation marks. Note that if the value spans several lines, each line needs to be enclosed by quotation marks. For example in \l qt.qdocconf: \code HTML.style = "h3.fn,span.fn" \ "{ margin-left: 1cm; text-indent: -1cm; }\n" \ "a:link { color: #004faf; text-decoration: none }\n" \ "a:visited" \ "{ color: #672967; text-decoration: none }\n" \ "td.postheader { font-family: sans-serif }\n" \ "tr.address { font-family: sans-serif }\n" \ "body { background: #ffffff; color: black; }" \endcode provides the HTML style for the \l {http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.0/index.html} {Qt Reference Documentation}. \target HTML.stylesheets-variable \section1 HTML.stylesheets The HTML.stylesheets variable defines a list of stylesheets to use for the generated HTML documentation. Using separate stylesheets for the documentation makes it easier to customize and experiment with the style used once the contents has been generated. Typically, it is only necessary to define a single stylesheet for any set of documentation; for example: \code HTML.stylesheets = classic.css \endcode QDoc expects to find stylesheets in the directory containing the \l qt.qdocconf file, and it will copy those specified to the output directory alongside the HTML pages. */ /*! \page 25-qdoc-configuration-derivedprojects.html \previouspage HTML Specific Configuration Variables \contentspage Table of Contents \nextpage Compatibility Issues \title Supporting Derived Projects Some configuration variables allow you to use QDoc to support Qt-based projects; i.e allow your project to contain links to the online Qt documentation. This means that QDoc will be able to create links to the class reference documentation, without any explicit linking command. \target description-variable \section1 description The description variable holds a short description of the associated project. See also \l project. \target indexes-variable \section1 indexes The \c indexes variable lists the index files that will be used to generate references. For example. to make a derived Qt project contain links to the Qt Reference documentation, you need to specify the associated index file: \code indexes = $QTDIR/doc/html/qt.index \endcode See also \l project and \l url. \target project-variable \section1 project The \c project variable provides a name for the project associated with the \c .qdocconf file. The project's name is used to form a file name for the associated project's \e index file. \code project = QtMotif \endcode This will cause an index file called \c qtmotif.index to be created. See also \l description and \l indexes. \target url-variable \section1 url The \c url variable holds the base URL for the reference documentation associated with the current project. The URL is stored in the generated index file for the project. When we use the index on its own, QDoc will use this as the base URL when constructing links to classes, functions, and other things listed in the index. \code project = Qt description = Qt Reference Documentation url = http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.0 ... \endcode This makes sure that whenever \c qt.index is used to generate references to for example Qt classes, the base URL is \c http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.0. See also \l indexes. \target howto \section1 How to Support Derived Projects This feature makes use of the comprehensive indexes generated by QDoc when it creates the Qt reference documentation. For example, \l qt.qdocconf (the configuration file for Qt) contains the following variable definitions: \code project = Qt description = Qt Reference Documentation url = http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.0 ... \endcode The \l project variable name is used to form a file name for the index file; in this case the \c qt.index file is created. The \l url is stored in the index file. Later, when we use the index on its own, QDoc will use this as the base URL when constructing links to classes, functions, and other things listed in the index. In a mini-project, you can use an index file by defining an \l indexes configuration variable in your \c .qdocconf file. For example, you can create a \c qtmotif.qdocconf file to help you check the QtMotif documentation (which is part of Qt Solutions): \code include($QTDIR/tools/qdoc3/test/compat.qdocconf) project = QtMotif description = QtMotif Class Documentation url = http://www.trolltech.com/products/solutions/catalog/4/Migration/qtmotifextension indexes = $QTDIR/doc/html/qt.index outputdir = html headerdirs = src sourcedirs = src \ examples sources.fileextensions = "*.cpp *.qdoc *.doc" exampledirs = examples \endcode The code above requires that you run QDoc from the directory that contains this file. You need to include the compat.qdocconf file for compatibility reasons; this is further explained in the \l {Compatibility Issues} section. \bold {To resolve the actual links to Qt classes, the mini-project's \c .qdocconf file needs to assign a value to the \l indexes variable; \c $QTDIR/doc/html/qt.index makes sure that you always use the updated index file for the Qt documentation.} The only disadvantages with this approach are the extra file that QDoc has to generate and the time it takes to do so. Reading the index back again later isn't instantaneous either, but it's quicker than processing all the Qt classes each time you need to write a new document. */ /*! \page 26-qdoc-commands-compatibility.html \previouspage Supporting Derived Projects \contentspage Table of Contents \nextpage qt.qdocconf \title Compatibility Issues \section1 General Description \target reason Because QDoc evolves to suit our documentation needs, there can be some compatibility issues when converting to a new version. To allow you to proceed at your own speed when converting your qdoc comments to use new qdoc commands and formats, the ability to include a configuration file called \c {compat.qdocconf} is provided. A \c {compat.qdocconf} file is a separate configuration file, which you include in your main configuration file. It typically contains the mappings from old qdoc commands to new ones using \l {alias} and \l {22-qdoc-configuration-generalvariables.html#macro-variable} {macro} configuration variables. \section1 Qt Compatibility In Qt's documentation there still exist occurrences of old commands, and the Qt \l {qt.qdocconf} {configuration file} needs to include the compat.qdocconf file tailored for Qt.
