Re: [Doxygen-users] Paragraph spacing in PDF output

[DonM <dm4...@in...>]

Turns out, I think this is a bug in how doxygen handles horizontal rules for PDF.

I noticed that the first couple of paragraphs in my document had spaces between them, but then I used a horizontal rule and everything after that was jammed together.

Investigating further, the default doxygen.sty file includes
     \newcommand{\DoxyHorRuler}{%
       \setlength{\parskip}{0ex plus 0ex minus 0ex}%
       \hrule%
     }

And apparently that affects all paragraphs after the horizontal rule. I don' think it should do that -- maybe that's a doxygen bug?

Anyway, if I remove the horizontal rule, I get spaces between all my paragraphs. And then if I change the parskip settings in a custom header.tex, those changes get used in the document. For now, my workaround is to live without the horizontal rule.

This change was propagated to the produced refman.tex file, but there was no visible change to the PDF output, so I don't think that was the right thing to do.
