[Doxygen-develop] Man page generation problem with _8

[Jan R. <jan...@co...>]

Hi

Doxygen is refusing to create man pages with dot in their name.

/** 
    \page blah.ini blah.ini

The blah.ini consists of lore ipsum 

*/

A file blah_8ini.3 is created and title is blah_8ini instead of blah.ini .

I understand that it is caused by escaping the names, but quick searching trough the code did not show where it happens.

Is there a way to allow for file names and titles to contain '.' in the name? 

Use case:
   a description of a data file structure in a source code.

   End user should be able to do 
           $ man -M ./man blah.ini
   
For example the man.config has its nice manual page.

Should I file a bug on bugzilla?

Thanks
Jan
