[Doxygen-users] DocJet versus Doxygen for MS IDL?

[Christopher B. <bre...@ya...>]

Jake asks:

    What features/abilities would one gain or loose if
    they did converted from DocJet to Doxygen?

I don't know about your questions regarding MS IDL,
but I did some comparing of Dox with DoxJet. Here were
some aspects of the comparison.

Against Docjet:

- Price: Your prospective employers obviously accepts
paying for DocJet, but they might like freeware too. 

- Design: As a tech writer who cares about design, I
find Doxygen's default design good, and I don't like
DocJet's default (headings too large, text too small).
With Doxygen, a simple change to sans-serif type gives
it another look, also good.

- Platform: DocJet was Windows-only when I checked it
out.

- Output: no printable version with DJ



For DocJet:

- Features that work with Dev Studio, including
context-sensitive help.

- Works with Java.

- (This doesn't apply to your situation.) Can be used
with existing comments in code, with no reformatting.


Those are the main differences I noticed.
