#Doxygen generate pdf pdf#

# optionally specify a file name after the option, if omitted DoxygenLayout.xml # that represents doxygen's defaults, run doxygen with the -l option. # output files in an output format independent way. The layout file controls the global structure of the generated The documentation for the layoutfile implies that it should work independently from the used output: # The LAYOUT_FILE tag can be used to specify a layout file which will be parsed This works perfectly fine for chm and html output, but unfortunatly seems to be completely ignored for the latex and docbook output, which could be used to generate pdf. The layout definition looks pretty much like in this simplified example: In other words, we completely disable the standard structure and define our own.

Second comes the API documentation, which is structured into the different languages.

Languages, we call this part 'user manual'.

First come a few pages of descriptive text, that applies to all.

In order to achieve this we customized the document structure using a DoxygenLayout.xml file in the following way: We want to document all these languages in one single document, but structure it by language. We are using doxygen to generate sourcecode documentation for a C API, which is also wrapped using C++, C# and Java.

If this is by design, is there any other way I could go starting from doxygen, resulting in a customized pdf document? Here are the details: My primary question is, is this restriction by design or am i missing something?

I'm already doing this for html and chm output, but for pdf it does not work. I'm trying to customize the pdf document structure generated by doxygen. User Manual for Doxygen 1.5. Just view and print it via the acrobat reader. make pdf The PDF manual doxygen manual.pdf will be located in the latex directory of the distribution. Before I'm going into the details, short brief first: Optional: Generate a PDF version of the manual (you will need pdflatex, makeindex, and egrep for this).
