Description Quinn Taylor 2008-10-01 23:39:17 UTC 
When documenting Objective-C, the preferred representation for protocol names is one without the spaces between the name and the angled brackets. I'm guessing this is because of C++ syntax for templates, etc.

It would be great if Obj-C protocols could appear without spaces, including when used in parameter types, return types, dot diagrams, inheritance hierarchies, etc. It would be a lot easier on the eyes (and understanding) and save a little space to boot.

Thanks,
  - Quinn

For an example, see the Graphical Class Hierarchy at http://delphos.cs.byu.edu/bokeo/
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2009-05-23 19:14:18 UTC 
Ok, I'll remove the spacing.
Comment 3 Dimitri van Heesch 2009-08-20 10:13:11 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.6.0. Please verify if this is indeed the case and reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed (include any additional information that you
think can be relevant).
Comment 4 Quinn Taylor 2009-08-20 16:09:26 UTC 
Verified as fixed in 1.6.0, thanks!
