Re: [Doxygen-users] Adding Custom Commands to execute Shell Scripts

that means we would need to run a lexer and figure out the comments,
and then parse the language tags. do you know of such a script? a
\shell tag is so much easier and natural.

i'm not sure why we are talking about 'platform independent'
documentation generation when clearly doxygen is filled with many
interesting features that execute shell commands at a user's demand,
like the INPUT_FILTER configuration. anyway, the information we put in
our doxygen comments and how we generate the actual documentation
heavily depends on our environment, even though our project is
platform independent...

as my original email said, all doxygen has to do is pass the "progname
args" to the portable_system function.
