Custom tags with Doxygen

Hi,

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to create a custom tag using Doxygen. I did find the ALIAS config line but that does not do exactly what I need.

Basically in code I want to be able to write something like

/// \req Requirement #322 - blah blah

And then have Doxygen create a list like it does for BUG and TODO commands for lines that have this custom tag.

This possible with Doxygen?

Thanks.

From stackoverflow

• The generalization of \bug and \todo is \xrefitem.

  The solution I suggest is:

  • in Doxyfile:

    ALIASES += "req=\xrefitem req \"Requirement\" \"Requirements\" "
    

  • in documented code:

    /// \req #42 - The system shall work in any situation
    

  RishiD : Excellent, I did not see that while looking at the manual. Thanks a bunch.
