[Doxygen-users] Using @link to reference a file

[Kevin W. <KWi...@vi...>]

I'm using Doxygen 1.2.14 to document an IDL file and I want to have it
insert a link to a static HTML file (not generated by Doxygen) in another
directory.  Here's what I've tried:

  /**
   * This is a Thing
   *
   * @link ../ThingInfo.html Go here for information @endlink
   */
   interface Thing
   {
   }

Doxygen complains that I'm linking to an "unknown entity" named ../ThingInfo
and no link is generated.  According to the documentation for @link, I
should be able to  "create a link to an object (a file, class, or member)
with a user specified link-text".  Am I doing this wrong or is Doxygen
broken or what?

P.S. - This works, but is ugly:

  * <a href="../ThingInfo.html">Go here for information</a>

I've also tried writing an alias to output the above HTML with no luck
(seems to be a problem with '=' or '"' characters inside of an alias).
