Latex to PDF hangs when using Markdown tables

Created attachment 292116 [details] Example how to reproduce the bug Description: pdflatex hangs (CPU goes to 100%) when creating PDF out of latex code generated by doxygen. After several tests I isolated the problem to the usage of Markdown tables inside the doxygen comments used to document source code. Of course, MARKDOWN_SUPPORT is set to YES. How to reproduce (see attachment for example code and config files): Step 1: Use Markdown tables in your documentation Step 2: Run doxygen and generate latex output Step 3: Run make.bat found in your latex output folder (default: /latex/make.bat) Step 4: Open Task Manager to "kill" pdflatex.exe process Operating system: Windows 7 Doxygen version: 1.8.8 pdflatex version: MiKTeX-pdfTeX 2.9.4902 (1.40.14) (MiKTeX 2.9) Additional info: HTML output is not affected.
Problem looks like to be caused by the table in the resulting parameter table. In case Markdown is not used the "table" is just plain text (which is of course not the intention of placing the table.
This is a variation of bug 732768. I hadn't realized @param and friend produce a table on their own, so adding a table there, should be treated specially; i.e. as a nested table, where one cannot use xtabular. Should be fixed in the next GIT update.
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in doxygen version 1.8.9. 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).
