Since I am using a Mac and do not plan to use the GUI front end, I chose an alternative approach and installed Doxygen from the command line via the Homebrew package manager using the following command. The program binaries for the latest release are about half way down the page. Please see the Doxygen downloads page for general installation instructions for your computer platform. If you need assistance with your particular setup, post a question in the comments section below and I, or someone else, can try to help you. If you are using a Linux or Windows computer, the vast majority of this tutorial should still apply, however, some minor changes may be necessary. I will be focusing on HTML in this tutorial.

which makes it appealing to a wide audience. Doxygen can generate documentation in a variety of formats, e.g. It can also include additional information based on special annotations used within the comments. The generated documentation will include summary descriptions for almost all of the elements and members defined in your program. It parses programs written in various programming languages that are annotated with certain commenting styles.

This tutorial will teach you how to use the Doxygen utility to generate program documentation for your Python based project.

The layout definition looks pretty much like in this simplified example: In other words, we completely disable the standard structure and define our own. Second comes the API documentation, which is structured into the different languages.Languages, we call this part "user manual". First come a few pages of descriptive text, that applies to all.In order to achieve this we customized the document structure using a DoxygenLayout.xml file in the following way: We want to document all these languages in one single document, but structure it by language. We are using doxygen to generate sourcecode documentation for a C API, which is also wrapped using C++, C# and Java.

If this is by design, is there any other way I could go starting from doxygen, resulting in a customized pdf document? Here are the details: My primary question is, is this restriction by design or am i missing something? I'm already doing this for html and chm output, but for pdf it does not work. I'm trying to customize the pdf document structure generated by doxygen. Before I'm going into the details, short brief first:
