[Doxygen-users] External documentation links

[Mark <dox...@er...>]

I’m experimenting with TAG files and external links and have a couple of questions.

1. Is it possible to disambiguate links in refs? I want to link to the index page of an external doc set for an API. I have

@subpage index

in the document doing the referencing. It is linking back to itself ‘cos it is also named index.

1a. If not, how can I tell Doxygen to use something other than “index” for the starting page when generating the external API doc?

2. Is there some way to reference an external page at the page level rather than subpage? If I try

@page externalref

Nothing appears. Only if I use

@subpage externalref

do I get a usable link.

The documentation for using tags is a joke. It stops at the point where it's told you how to get doxygen to find the tags file.
