Description tkrotoff 2010-03-09 13:45:41 UTC 
Example of brief comment:
/**
 * Type (FLAC, DivX, MP3...) of a file.
 */

Doxygen stops at the first dot and generates: "Type (FLAC, DivX, MP3" instead of "Type (FLAC, DivX, MP3...) of a file"
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2010-03-14 10:39:19 UTC 
When JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF is enabled a brief description ends with a .
It is possible to avoid this by adding an escaped space after the dot, i.e. 
".\ "

For ellipsis this is not a good solution, so I'll adjust the parser for this.
An ellipsis followed by a non-space (as in your example) does not need to be escaped. An ellipsis that is followed by a space needs an escaped space, i.e. 
"...\ "

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.7.0. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant.
