Thanks.  I guess I should wait for that patch to try it.  When you
say latest, do you mean svn or 1.7.4?

Other that the obvious reports of success or details on problems,
what type of feedback would you like?

It would be good to get this merged so it because more mainstream.
As you posted recently, QtDoc now produces DITA so it would be
a good time for Doxygen to pick up the capability.

We try not to have quirky code in RTEMS but it wouldn't surprise me
if someone else found it quirky.  We use a lot of static inline methods
to encapsulate functionality in an OO style.

I am just getting started on this experiment.  Is there a good guide
for the process of getting from Doxygen all the way to the
Information Centre?

Thanks.  I really appreciate the offer and will do my best not to
abuse it.
