[Doxygen-users] HTML links to local file system

[Chris S. <cj...@jl...>]

Group,
    I am trying to enter HTML links into my document produced by
doxygen.  I put the following in
one of my files..

/*! \page page2 Links
 - <a href="http://www.trolltech.com">Qt GUI library</a>
 - <a href="http://www.humanfactor.com/pthreads/">POSIX Threads</a>
 - <a href="file://d:\cjs\doc\lecroy.pdf">Software Documentation</a>
*/

The two web links work fine.  The link to the local file does not.  If I
cut the HTML out and put it into a text file, I can open it with my
browser and successfully follow all three links, which shows they are
valid.  The actual link generated from this HTML, after running through
doxygen, is changed to the path of my index.html generated by doxygen.
Does doxygen do some parsing and translating of the HTML code?

         Thanks,
             Chris
