GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 672662
Markdown files not included as default file types so feature appears to not work.
Last modified: 2012-05-19 12:26:56 UTC
When creating a new doxyfile, the file list for FILE_PATTERNS mentioned in the comment block generated doesn't include .md or .markdown extensions. Running a new doxygen file over a directory containing .md files skips them so it seems the default behaviour if FILE_PATTERNS are not specified doesn't include .md files. The help page http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/markdown.html doesn't say that these files have to be explicitly added to the FILE_PATTERNS so I am presuming this is a bug. CHANGES THAT SHOULD OCCUR 1) default behaviour should include .md and .markdown extensions 2) the self-documenting comment block for FILE_PATTERNS in a new Doxyfile should be changed to match 1)
Indeed, if you check out the latest subversion snapshot you'll see it has been corrected already.
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in doxygen version 1.8.1. 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.
