What are some examples of Doxygen configuration?

Can you provide some examples of Doxygen configuration files?

Sure! Here are a few examples of Doxygen configuration settings you might use:

1. PROJECT_NAME: Set this to your project's name.
2. OUTPUT_DIRECTORY: Specify where the generated documentation should be saved.
3. RECURSIVE: Set this to YES if you want Doxygen to search subdirectories.
4. GENERATE_HTML: Set this to YES to generate HTML documentation.
5. EXTRACT_ALL: Set this to YES to extract all entities from the source code.

What does the RECURSIVE option do?

The RECURSIVE option, when set to YES, allows Doxygen to search through all subdirectories of the specified input directories for source files. This is useful for large projects with multiple nested folders.

Can I customize the output format of the documentation?

Yes, you can customize the output format! Doxygen supports various formats like HTML, LaTeX, RTF, and XML. You can specify your desired formats in the configuration file using options like GENERATE_HTML, GENERATE_LATEX, etc.

Are there any best practices for writing Doxygen comments?

Absolutely! Some best practices include:

• Use clear and concise language.
• Document all public APIs and classes.
• Use tags like @param, @return, and @brief for better structure.
• Keep comments up to date with code changes.
