Re: [Doxygen-users] Multiple indents inside paragraphs?

[Brian H. <bhe...@pi...>]

Sorry, meant to send this to the list.

Hi Albert,

I hadn’t tried DL (I wasn’t aware of that one), and now that I read up on it, it sounds like it may be the right answer both effectively and semantically (my application is indeed items / descriptions) and they are allowed to be nested.

Regarding emphasis markdown:  …okay, it does work; I just have a specific case that breaks it apparently:

Source:
    - _<angle_bracketed_italics>_ _represent_ fields in the format string

Resultant HTML:
<li>_&lt;angle_bracketed_italics&gt;_ <em>represent</em> fields in the format string</li>

“Represent” is properly emphasized (as a control example), but “&lt;angle_bracketed_italics&gt;” is not.

The same happens whether I use underscores or asterisks:
    - *&lt;angle_bracketed_italics&gt;* represent fields in the format string
becomes
<li>*&lt;angle_bracketed_italics&gt;* <em>represent</em> fields in the format string</li>

It seems to be connected to the interior underscores.

I can work around it of course by using <em>…</em>

Cheers,
-Brian

Brian,
Spaced in texts are always quite cumbersome.
Maybe the HTML tages <DL> etc. (see manual Chapter 25 HTML commands) or the special spacing commands like &nbsp; (The special HTML4 character entities., same chapter) might help you here.
Regarding the "PS" please give an example where it is not working.

Hello,

I’m hoping to create some documentation that looks like this:

Blah blah blah
    Blah blah blah
        Blah blah blah
    Blah blah blah
        Blah blah blah
…

I don’t want blank lines between, and I want multiple layers of indenting.

I tried using HTML <p> tags with inline style attribute, but doxygen apparently strips attributes from HTML tags.

I tried doing an HTML table but that creates borders.

I could forgive blank lines in between if I could get the multiple indents.

It’s like a nested list, but without decorations (another thing Doxygen apparently doesn’t do?)

Is this possible at all?
Thanks,
-Brian

PS: Also noticed emphasis markdown (** and __) doesn’t work; I have to use HTML <em> and <strong> tags.  Is there a config switch for this?
