Description Raul Vera 2005-03-30 06:52:47 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The documentation says that $title, $date, etc. are converted when encountered
in a user-supplied latex header.  This doesn't happen when I replace "Your title
here" with "$title" in header.tex.  Instead, I the variable appears untranslated
in refman.tex.

Steps to reproduce:
1. doxygen -w latex header.tex doxygen.sty
2. edit header.tex as above
3. edit Doxyfile to use header.tex as a latex header
4. run doxygen
5. examine refman.tex output


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I'm generating pdflatex output, so I actually edited header.txt to include all
the preamble necessary for pdftex, but it shouldn't make any difference.  (I'll
file another bug about not being able to generate a pdflatex header.)

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.8. 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 (preferrably in the form of a self-contained example).
