[Doxygen-users] Creating snippets of non-code text for reuse in multiple locations

[Davina R. <Dav...@ma...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out a way to reuse snippets of non-code text in multiple dox files. I've tried a few things from creating .md files to .cpp files to .dox files and added plain text there which I then try to reference in another .dox file but I cannot get it to work. I got it to work from a .cpp file but the text that appeared was formatted by default as code rather than plain text. Is this possible in Doxygen? For example, supported systems information is common to many products, and I want to have one file with the supported systems text snippet in it, which I then reference in all dox files that need that info. I can then update that text snippet only once in a file where I have all snippets defined and that snippet is then automatically updated for all locations where it is referenced in at time of compiling. FYI, I'm a technical writer and not a programmer but I can read some code and fiddle around with code a little.

Thanks for any pointers.
