Description macro 2012-03-10 12:46:14 UTC 
Markdown backticks incorrectly introduce backslash characters before the less-than and greater-than characters in C# generic type names.


A generic type name formatted using <code>, <tt>, and backticks produces the following, respectively:

HTML <code> tags correctly yield:
MyGenericType<T>

HTML <tt> tags correctly yield:
MyGenericType<T>

Markdown backticks incorrectly yield:
MyGenericType\<T\>


Test source code, doxygen.config, and screenshot attached.

Comment 4 Dimitri van Heesch 2012-03-10 13:18:07 UTC 
The use of \< in itself is not wrong. It is even needed in case the part within brackets would otherwise be a valid HTML command, i.e.

MyGenericType<BR>

can be interpreted as a word followed by a line break, rather than a generic type.

But showing the backticks as a verbatim section is a bug (#671709) and will also reveal the backslashes. Fixing that bug will also fix this one, so I'll mark this as a duplicate.
