Re: [Doxygen-users] bug - group names starting with numbers cause the number part(s) to appear in output

Oh, I’m seeing this in Doxygen 1.8.10 on Windows 7.

Hello, Doxygen users,

I’ll report this to Bugzilla when I’ve time, but I thought it good to get this into the doxygen-users forum.

I used the \defgroup command to create a group name that has numbers, such as “3times_functions”. Then in the functions’ Doxygen comment blocks, I used the \ingroup command to place the functions in the group. The grouping works fine, but...

The output for the function contains the numeric part of the group name! That is, for an \ingroup command for group “3times_functions”, the output contains “3” on its own line. And for a group name, “3times3_functions”, the output contains “33”.

The workaround is easy: don’t start a group name with a number. It’s fine to use numbers otherwise (so “times3_functions” works as expected, with nothing about the group name in the function’s page.)
