Description Fred Richards 2007-05-09 17:12:05 UTC 
Double-quotes (") and un-escaped angle brackets (< >) in \brief strings cause problems for source listings for HTML and XML output.

E.g., Generate a default Doxyfile, change GENERATE_XML=YES and XML_PROGRAMLISTING=YES, and save this to Foo.h and process:

    /** \brief Don't say "this" or, e.g., Specialized<that>. */
    class Foo { };

See the html/_foo_8h-source.html, specifically the <a ... title="..."> attribute.
See the xml/_foo_8h.xml, specifically the <ref ... tooltip="..."> attribute .

Same results on Win XP and Mac OS X.

Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next CVS update.

This bug was marked ASSIGNED and as a result has been moved to the FIXED state with the release of 1.5.3, since I believe the bug has been fixed in this release. I kindly ask you to verify this and reopen the bug should this not be the case.
