[Doxygen-develop] DITA XML Support Status

[Joel S. <joe...@oa...>]

> Hi,
>
> We are currently working on a DITA XML specialization for the C++ programming language. As part of the work we have implemented a backend for doxygen which produces DITA XML from C++ source code, a documented standard and a plug-in for the DITA open toolkit.
>
> We have been using the standard, the doxygen backend and DITA open toolkit plug-in in production for over a year now to produce the Symbian developer library and we feel they are stable enough to start donating them to the appropriate upstream projects. We are have started discussions with Oasis about approving the C++ standard and our plug-in is already available for download on the DITA open toolkit website.
>
> I was wondering if anyone else in the doxygen community would be interested in this work and if there is any desire to see it integrated back up stream? I have attached a patch that adds DITA xml support to doxygen. We have tested the patch on windows, Linux and Mac OS X and would be happy to support it (fix any defects raised, implement feature requests etc.) for the foreseeable future.

What are the plans for merging this into Doxygen?

You mention this for C++, does it work for C as well?  I am
looking at this as a path to getting the RTEMS Doxygen
generated documentation into the Eclipse Information Center.

Thanks.
