[Doxygen-users] VSDoxyHighlighter: Highlighting/autocomplete for Visual Studio

[<Se...@t-...>]

Hi everyone,

since Visual Studio (not VS Code!) never provided built-in syntax 
highlighting of Doxygen commands in C++ comments and previous extensions 
were no longer maintained, I wrote one: VSDoxyHighlighter is open source 
and available for Visual Studio 2022 on github 
(https://github.com/Sedeniono/VSDoxyHighlighter) as well as the VS 
marketplace 
(https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Sedenion.VSDoxyHighlighter). 
See these two pages for some images.

The extension not only comes with syntax highlighting but also offers 
autocomplete of commands while you type them, and quick info tooltips 
when hovering with the mouse over commands. It supports all "special" 
commands of the current Doxygen 1.9.8 and has some (rudimentary) 
markdown support. I ensured that the performance impact of the syntax 
highlighting is minimal; I use it in files containing more than 20000 
lines of code without problems. I have also not received any problem 
reports in the several months that the extension is available, so it is 
pretty stable.
