[Doxygen-users] C#: How to disable at(@), backslash(\) and hash sign(#) inside XML doc comments?

[David P. <qwe...@gm...>]

I would like Doxygen to not pay attention to #, \ and @ directives inside
XML doc comments (since XML comments have their own directives.) For
instance I have a class that talks about the meaning of @ and # in a
programming language I am making:

/// So #class is a keyword that is parsed like an identifier, but this is
/// different from the notation @class which already exists in plain C#.
/// @class is an ordinary identifier that has a "@" sign in front to ensure
/// that the compiler does not treat it like a keyword at all. #class is a
/// special identifier that is parsed like an identifier but then treated
like
/// a keyword after parsing is complete.

.../LNode.cs(210): warning: the name `already' supplied as the argument of
the \class, \struct, \union, or \include command is not an input file
.../LNode.cs(211): warning: the name `an' supplied as the argument of the
\class, \struct, \union, or \include command is not an input file
...

I am not sure if this is caused by @ or \ or #, but for some reason Doxygen
deletes the entire detailed description (very detailed - several pages) of
this class, i.e. the output does not have a detailed description section.

I do not want to add doxygen-specific escape sequences because anyone
reading the source code will not know what they mean, nor will Visual
Studio strip them out of the XML files it generates.

Also, does Doxygen understand that in C#, Foo<T> and Foo are two different
classes?

.../DList.cs(363): warning: Detected potential recursive class relation
between class Loyc::Collections::DList and base class
Loyc::Collections::DList< object >!

P.S. in a different file, doxygen is unable to parse this code block,
saying there is an EOF in the code block:

/// <code>
///     la0 = LA(0);
///     if (la0 == 'a' || la0 == 'b') { /* alt 1 or alt 2 */ }
/// </code>

I have to change */ to something else.
