| +!!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].
|
|
|
| -!!@date
|
| +!!!@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
|
| +!!!@author |
| [http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdauthor]
|

| 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
|
| +!!!@class |
| [http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdclass]
