[Doxygen-users] \htmlonly, \latexonly etc.

[Christoph K. <ko...@in...>]

Hi.

I have encountered a problem with the use of \htmlonly and \latexonly (at least I
perceive it as a problem). I wrote a class documentation that was somewhat formula-
heavy. I want to use the "pass-through" capability of Doxygen (via \latexonly) to
have "good-looking" formulae in the LaTeX output. The problem is that
the part between \latexonly and \endlatexonly is a not replacement but a supplement.
If I want a textual approximation of the formula-heavy part to appear in the HTML
output I have to use \htmlonly ... \endhtmlonly for that. But then the manpage output
(and also the RTF output, I suppose, but I didn't explicitly check) has neither the
\latexonly nor the \htmlonly part. What to do? Either add \xxxonly and \endxxxonly
for every output format xxx, or invent something like

\latexonly
<The LaTeX specific part>
\htmlonly
<The HTML specific part>
\otherformats
<The default part, valid for the formats that were not explicitly mentioned before>
\endlatexonly

or

\htmlonly
<The HTML part>
\otherformats
<Default part>
\endhtmlonly

I. e., some \xxxonly part goes as far as the next \yyyonly, \otherformats, or
\endxxxonly tag is encountered.
Do I make any sense at all? Is there already a way to achieve what I want?

Cheers, Christoph
