<div class="descr" id="details">
<p>QDoc generates documentation for software projects. It does this by extracting <i>QDoc comments</i> from project source files. QDoc comments are signified by a C-style-like comment tag followed by an exclamation point, like this: <code translate="no">/*!</code> <code translate="no">This text is contained within QDoc comment tags.</code> <code translate="no">*/</code>.</p>
<h2 id="supported-file-types">Supported file types</h2>
<p>QDoc parses <code translate="no">.cpp</code> and <code translate="no">.qdoc</code> files. It does extract comments from header (<code translate="no">.h</code>) files.</p>
<h2 id="further-information">Further information</h2>
<p>This test document is written with the purpose of testing the output QDoc generates when parsing <code translate="no">.qdoc</code> files. It is fairly simple and makes use of a limited subset of QDoc's command. Those commands are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code translate="no">\page</code></li>
<li><code translate="no">\title</code></li>
<li><code translate="no">\brief</code></li>
<li><code translate="no">\e</code> (for emphasizing &quot;QDoc comments&quot;)</li>
<li><code translate="no">\c</code> (for multiple monospace-formatted entries)</li>
<li><code translate="no">\section1</code></li>
<li><code translate="no">\list</code></li>
<li><code translate="no">\li</code></li>
<li><code translate="no">\endlist</code></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="linking">Linking</h2>
<p>There are multiple ways to create hyperlinks to other topics:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qdoctests-qdocfileoutput-linking.html">Linking to a page title</a></li>
<li><a href="qdoctests-qdocfileoutput-linking.html#link-targets">Linking to a section title</a></li>
<li><a href="qdoctests-qdocfileoutput-linking.html#link-targets">Linking using a \target string</a></li>
<li><a href="qdoctests-qdocfileoutput-linking.html">Linking using a \keyword string</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="qdoc-linking-test">QDoc Linking Test</h2>
<p>This section title is overridden by another target which takes precedence.</p>
<h2 id="linking-to-something-in-a-section-title">Linking to <a href="qdoctests-qdocfileoutput.html#further-information">something</a> in a section title</h2>
<p>This is allowed but a questionable practice.</p>
