File comments include details like licensing and copyright if any, author information, the purpose of the file, known bugs, change log etc. Documenting filesĪll files must have file comments. IMPORTANT - in your Doxyfile configuration ALWAYS set JAVADOC_BANNER = NO, such that Doxygen will interpret these boxed comments as comments and ignore them.

#DOXYGEN LAYOUT CODE#
This is a collection of templates to generate documentation for C source code using Doxygen. Step III - run doxygen to parse the source code and generate documentation in html and LaTeX formats.Step II - create a configuration file by running doxygen -g, which generates a config file (default - Doxyfile).Step I - annotate source code with special comments or special comment blocks.Working with Doxygen basically involves these three steps: It offers a practical solution to the problem of generating and maintaining source code documentation.Since the documentation is extracted directly from the source, it is much easier to keep the documentation in sync with the source code.visualize relationships between between various elements by means of include dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, collaboration diagrams etc.ĭoxygen - the executable doxygen is the main program that parses the sources and generates documentationĭoxywizard - is a graphical front-end for editing the configuration file which is used by doxygen and for running doxygen in a graphical environment.quickly extract code structure from undocumented source files, which is useful for navigating large code bases.LaTeX, man pages) from a set of documented source files
