Description Carl R. Werth 2009-07-23 17:28:05 UTC 
When using HTML-command <table> and setting text like x"\y", x"\\y", x"y\" or x"y\\" inside a td-section will produce broken fields inside the table.
Example:
/**
<table>
<tr> <td> y"\q"  </td> <td> y"\z"  </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> y"\\q" </td> <td> y"\\z" </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> y"q\"  </td> <td> y"z\"  </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> y"q\\" </td> <td> y"z\\" </td> </tr>
</table>
*/

This occurs in version 1.5.9 as well as in 1.5.8.

Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2009-07-23 18:09:11 UTC 
Confirmed. 

The problem is that y"\q" was tokenized as 
<y"> + <\q> + <"> 
instead of 
<y>  + <"\q">

Note that you do rely heavily on the fact that quoted words do 
not need escaping; i.e. "\q" is ok, but if you want to 
write just \q, it should be \\q, so doxygen does see it as a command.
Comment 3 Dimitri van Heesch 2009-08-20 10:12:49 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).
