[Doxygen-users] different editor colors for Doxygen comments vs. "regular" comments ?

[Monique S. <mon...@ea...>]

Hello, Doxygen users,

Does anyone have recommendations for editors that have syntax highlighting that differentiates between Doxygen block comments and other comments?

Recently I found that Notepad++ makes it easy to choose different colors for “regular” comments vs. “other comments”, such as Doxygen blocks. It’s quite a nice thing to be able to quickly scroll through a file and see which functions/etc. have Doxygen blocks and which ones don’t.

But I prefer to use a more project-oriented coding editor, such as Sublime Text. Sublime Text is infinitely customizable, with tons of color and syntax themes. But I haven’t found a way to achieve different syntax colors for the Doxygen blocks than for the other comment blocks. I have some leads that I might try (https://packagecontrol.io/packages/DoxyDoc and https://github.com/hsmederod/DoxygenSyntax), but I thought it worth querying this list before investing a lot of time.

Thanks for your advice and info,
-Monique
