#3 Bug in LaTeX output with {\em ...}

[Anonymous]

For a boolean return I use the following:

/**
* blah blah
*
* @return
* {\em true} if ok, else {\em false}
*/
bool foo (void);

As a result I get the following LaTeX code:

\index{foo}
\index{{\bf Functions/Methods}!!foo}
\begin{cxxfunction}
{bool}
{foo}
{(void)}
{ blah blah}
{1}
\cxxReturn{
\begin{tabular}[t]{lp{0.5\textwidth}}
{\tt\strut \{{$\backslash$\relax}em} & true} if ok, else {\em false}
\end{tabular}}

Note that there is an extra `}' in the last line
that will cause `latex' to abort with an error message.

I use doc++ 3.4.7

The problem appears to be more than just an extra '}'.
Notice too that the {\em true} has been mangled to produce
'\{{$\backslash$\relax}em} & true'. Still, the result is an
invalid TeX/LaTeX file.

Having looked into the doc2tex.ll code for this, and the
function dumpTeXlist (around line 1255 onwards), it looks
like the last '}' actually is intended to match up with the
'\cxxReturn{' line. So, the curly brackets are off between
the begin and end tabular.
