This one is kinda pie-in-the-sky, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, right? (smile) I think it would be awesome if the documentation files could be separate from the code. Is it possible to have these kinds of comments formatted for Doxygen, (either 'intro comments', or 'on same line' - hopefully both), such that I get them output in the final documentation for that. We have all of our in-house libraries documented in a wiki and we would love to be able to get to it directly!Ģ. This may already exist and I haven’t figured it out, but it would be great if we could include links to our in-house documentation instead of (or in addition to) the existing “Search online” link that is already included in the tool tip.
