Description Gisbert 2009-09-30 04:28:11 UTC 
Line 26 of the attached input file reads:
 With no interesting content, but an interesting quoted double quote \".
(Yes, I wanted the output to contain a backslash followed by a double quote.)

Processing with doxygen will yield
<unknown>:3932536: Error: Unexpected character `"'

Trying to escape the backslash by writing \\" does not change the situation.

Comment 2 Gisbert 2009-09-30 04:50:11 UTC 
This may, or may not, be related to bug #437218, which is reported as fixed.
Comment 3 Dimitri van Heesch 2009-10-10 14:29:37 UTC 
Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next subversion update.

The advertised way to write \" is to escape both characters, i.e. \\\", but \\" will also work, writing just \" will write only " to the output.
Comment 4 Dimitri van Heesch 2009-12-30 13:38:46 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.6.2. 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).
