GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 782373
Unclear how to suppress periods from ending brief description (JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF)
Last modified: 2018-07-30 10:01:54 UTC
According to Doxygen manual: 1. > To enable this behavior you should set JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF to YES in the > configuration file. If you enable this option and **want to put a dot in the > middle of a sentence without ending it, you should put a backslash and a space > after it**. Here is an example: > > /** Brief description (e.g.\ using only a few words). Details follow. */ (Doxygen Manual - Documenting the code - Examples: http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/docblocks.html#docexamples) 2. > This command writes a dot (.) to the output. **This can be useful to prevent > ending a brief description when JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF is enabled** or to prevent > starting a numbered list when the dot follows a number at the start of a line. (Doxygen Manual - Special Commands - \. : https://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/commands.html#cmdchardot) The second method doesn't seem to work (the first one is ok). Also take a look at: http://stackoverflow.com/q/29178465/3235496
