Description René Papenhoven 2012-07-05 09:13:29 UTC 
To be able to use the pipe symbol in the cell of a markdown table it should escaped by a backslash (this to avoid mixing up with the pipe symbol as column separator).

This works OK for the markdown processing (the escaped pipe symbol is ignored), however the doxygen processing keeps the escape (backslash) in the generated output.

Solution is likely to add the support for escaped pipe symbols.
(Maybe limited to markdown sections if conflicts might arise).


Note:
Markdown also supports escaped colon (which maybe should be handled as well).
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2012-07-08 19:30:54 UTC 
Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next subversion update.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2012-07-12 15:41:56 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.1.2. 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.
