DoxygenPlugin

This plugin allows you to create links to classes within doxygen-generated documentation.

Syntax Rules

%DOX{classname[displayName] project="optionalProjectName"}%

Examples

Where classname is the case sensitive name of the class you wish to link to. For example %DOX{nKernelServer}% creates a link like this %DOX{nKernelServer}%.

If you wish to link to a specific function or other API page, then you can use %DOX{path}% where path is the path to the html file relative to /doc/doxydoc/. For example if you wished to link to /doc/doxydoc/nebulacollide/html/collide_usage.html then you would type %DOX{nebulacollide/html/collide_usage.html}% to get a link like this %DOX{nebulacollide/html/collide_usage.html}%.

To have the link display text other than the class name or file path, put the alternative text in square brackets like this %DOX{nKernelServer[The Kernel]}%, which would display as %DOX{nKernelServer[The Kernel]}%

DoxygenPlugin Global Settings

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write %<plugin>_<setting>%, i.e. %DOXYGENPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%

• Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Creates links to doxygen-generated docs using %DOX{classname}%.
  • Set DEBUG = 0

• The Nebula Device project codebase
  • Set DOCS_BASE_NEB = /home/groups/n/ne/nebuladevice/nebula/doc/doxydoc/nebulacore/html/class
  • Set URL_BASE_NEB = http://nebuladevice.sourceforge.net/doc/doxydoc/nebulacore/html/

• default project if repository isn't specified in the plugin parameters (case doesn't matter here because it all gets uppercased anyway)
  • Set PROJECT = neb
