[Doxygen-develop] Doxygen - don't remove whitespace

[<al...@ic...>]

Hello Doxygen developers,
    I would like to modify the source code for Doxygen so that white space in 
special documentation blocks is not removed.  This may be as simple as 
modifying a couple source files but my problem is that I am unfamiliar with 
flex and bison.  Here is a more concrete example of what I mean:

(from my source code)
/**
/* Abstract:
/*   This function performs calculations for the new viewing frustum
/*
/* Note:
/*   This function expects the *window pointer to point to the current view
*/

*window calcFrustum(Window* win)



In the corresponding entry for the generated man page, the whitespace, 
newlines, and asterisks are removed and it appears as:

*window calcFrustum(Window* win)

  Abstract: This function performs calculations for the new viewing frustum

  Note: This function expects the *window pointer to point to the current view




However, I would like it to only have stripped the asterisk (and preferrable 
replace it with whitespace):

*window calcFrustum(Window* win)

  Abstract:
    This function performs calculations for the new viewing frustum

  Note:
    This function expects the *window pointer to point to the current view

Can someone provide incite as to how I can go about changing the source so that 
whitespace is not removed?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
