+!!Doxygen Commands
+The next section is a list of fields recognised by Doxygen. For the full listing of Doxygen commands, see [http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html].
 
-!Generated Lists
+!!!@date
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmddate]
+We use date to indicate when the file or library was first created. The date format ''yyyy/mm/dd'' is used to standardise with CVS $Date:$ field.
+
+!!!@author
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdauthor]
+Authors of the file or library are listed here. This command ends with a blank line. Usually CVS name and email address are included.
+
+
+!!!@version
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdversion]
+For this we use CVS dynamic fields __$Revision: ... $ $Date: ... $ $Author: ... $__. This ensure the data is always up to date and maintenance free.
+__We don't use CVS $Name: xxx $ as they do not work well with CVS merges.__
+
+!!!@class
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdclass]
+This identifies the code as a class to Doxygen which is then used to create graphical inheritence and the like.
+
+!!Generated Lists
 The following are tags that will help our coding efforts.
 
-!!\todo
-[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdtodo|Doxygen documentation for __\todo__]
-This tag is used for something still pending to do. __FIXME__ is a similar tag, but does not work with Doxygen. Please don't use FIXME or TODO - rather use __\todo__ to ensure it makes it to the generated list.
+!!!@todo
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdtodo]
+This tag is used for something still pending to do. __Please don't use FIXME as it does not work with Doxygen.__ Use __@todo__ to ensure it makes it to the generated list. This command ends with a blank line. The todo command will associate itself to the previous command, so be careful with its placement.
 
-!!\deprecated
-[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmddeprecated|Doxygen documentation for __\deprecated__]
+!!!@deprecated
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmddeprecated]
 Deperecate code is to be phased out. Use this to indicate when you plan to phase it out and alternative classed or functions that it has been replaced by.
 
-!!\bug
-[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdbug|Doxygen documentation for __\bug__]
+!!!@bug
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdbug]
 Indicates where one or more bugs have been reported - is wise to reference a SourceForge bug number.
 
-!!\test
-[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdtest|Doxygen documentation for __\test__]
+!!!@test
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdtest]
 Used to describe a test case - not really sure how we would use this yet.
 
+!!Variable Description
+{CODE source=php} /**
+ * Used to store the directory used to store the cache files.
+ */
+ var $_folder;{/CODE}
+For variable, just include a line to explain its use.
+
+!!Function Description
+{CODE source=php} /**
+ * Used to retrieve an object if cached.
+ * @param key the unique identifier used to retrieve the cached item
+ * @return object if cached object exists
+ */
+ function getCached($key)
+ {...
+ }{/CODE}
+
+!!!@param
+[http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdparam]
+Used in the following way __@param__ ''parameter_name'' ''description'', identify each parameter and give a quick description of its use.
