Custom tags with Doxygen

Question

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to create a custom tag using Doxygen. I did find the ALIAS configuration file option but that does not do exactly what I need. Basically in my code I want to be able to write something like

/// 
eq Requirement #322 - blah blah

And then have Doxygen create a list like it does for ug and odo commands for lines that have this custom tag. Is this possible with Doxygen?

Answer 1

The generalization of ug and odo is xrefitem.

The solution I suggest is:

• in Doxyfile:

  ALIASES += "req=xrefitem req "Requirement" "Requirements" "
  

• in documented code:

  /// 
  eq #42 - The system shall work in any situation
