FW: [Doxygen-users] MSDN Style

[<ca...@Cr...>]

	Hi!
	Idea looks well, if some one write xmlread that will read
doxygen's xml and generate doxygen style html, I do not see any
problems to modify xmlread to MSDN style. But I couldn write
MSDN style from scratch.
	I think that is a best idea to remove RTF, Latex, Html, Man
from doxygen parser and divide doxygen into 5 programs:
	parser, rtfgen, latexgen, htmlgen, mangen.
	But I think that this work don't seize less than half year.

First I must admit that I haven't seen this MSDN style nor do I know
how the patch looks/works, BUT as long as introducing a new style means
changing the "code base" I would suggest NOT to integrate it.

IMHO styles should be added thru some abstraction layer/interface.
XML based or whatever.

I would suggest that Dimitri concentrates on the "parser engine" and the
"style interface hooks". People that want styles could invest their time
into writing code for that interface instead of writing patches for one
specific style.

Sorry if this spoils the fun for some people and YES I hate Micro$oft
(if that matters ;-)

Regards,

Germar
