Description Cedric Schmeits 2011-04-28 12:42:26 UTC 
I have the following code in mine python script at which doxygen stops processing the rest of the file:

    raise ReleaseError("""object [%s] has release "%s" while task has release "%s\"""" % (obj.GetName(), obj.release, release))

after splitting the \"""" into \" """ the script was processed completely.
also replacing the " by ' in the string solved the problem so the problem seemed to be the \""""

Problem has to do with the handling of an escaped character inside a triple quoted string.

Just pushed a proposed patch to github (pull request 376)
Comment 2 albert 2015-08-09 08:16:52 UTC 
Patch has been brought into master branch on github
Comment 3 Dimitri van Heesch 2015-12-30 10:20:16 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.11. 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 (preferably in the form of a self-contained example).
