Description Lucien Murray-Pitts 2009-11-13 07:49:47 UTC

I can do 

  /** @page intro Introduction to MyProduct &copy;
   *
   * Some waffle about my product!
   */

and the HTML will show the (C) symbol.

However, the following wont work for the titlepage.  

  /** @mainpage Welcome to MyProduct &copy; 
   *
   * Some waffle thanking them for purchasing such an amazing product
   */

The main page will now look like this...
   Welcome to MyProduct &copy;

Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next release.

Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2009-12-30 13:38:56 UTC

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.6.2. 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).
