Cannot add/link mardown or rst pages in the C++ Doxygen theme

[kennychowdhary]

In my config file I have

DOXYFILE = 'Doxyfile-mcss'
MAIN_PROJECT_URL: "My project"

LINKS_NAVBAR1 = [
    ("Pages", 'pages', [("About",'about.md')]) ,
    ("Namespaces", 'namespaces', [])
]

where about.md is a markdown page in the same directory as the Doxyfile-mcss file, but I get the following error when running ./doxygen.py on this conf.py file:

Traceback (
most recent call last):
  File "./doxygen.py", line 3853, in <module>

It should be just about I think -- this is the name that Doxygen uses as a page identifier.

or rst pages

Unfortunately Doxygen doesn't understand rst on its own, and (the Doxygen theme in particular) only consumes the XML output that Doxygen produced, so it's limited to just what Doxygen knows to parse -- Markdown and the Doxygen docblock syntax.

Closing due to lack of activity.
