Problems with adding HTML-formatted aliases

[anb0s]

Original Savannah ticket 7276 reported by gbrocker on Mon Oct 02 18:00:12 2006.

Hi,

I have problems with adding HTML-formatted aliases to the doxy-file:

When adding an alias like this:

prelimdoc=<span style="color:red"><i>[ This is preliminary documentation and subject to change ]</i></span><br><br>

It is splitted in several aliases.

---

When trying to solve this problem adding back-slashes:

prelimdoc=<span style="color:red"><i>[ This is preliminary documentation and subject to change ]</i></span><br><br>

The alias is kept as one entry, but doxygen generates bad results like:

I see, in your case, double quotes enclose an HTML attribute value, but they are also used by eclox (and doxygen as well) to enclose value parts that may contain spaces.

Could give me what you whould have typed if editing the doxyfile manually ?

Thank you.

In the doxyfile the following setting is correctly used by doxygen to generate the expected result:

ALIASES = "prelimdoc=<span style="color:red"><i>[ This is preliminary documentation and subject to change ]</i></span><br><br>"

This is generated by the DoxyWizard available for Windows (I'm not sure whether the DoxyWizard is available for other platforms). But Eclox is a nice tool and much better manageable than other tools like DoxyWizard. Congratulations and thank you very much for this helpful development.

Thank you for submitting the sample line that causes the bug.

In eclox 0.5.4, there is an automatic double-quote handling mecanism. It allows to enter values containing quotes and those quotes will be automatically escaped in the underlaying doxyfile, so this behaviour should be totally transparent to the user.

This mecanism is optionnal, so could you please check that it is enabled ? (Windows>Preferences>Doxygen>Misc>Handle escapes for " and \ in value string).

Finally, I'm happy to receive feedback from users, espacially when they are happy using eclox :)

Thank you.

The mechanism is already enabled, but I got the described problem.

The bug has been found and fixed (as far as I tested). Next release (0.6.0) will include the fix.

Thanks. Guillaume
