Texinfo C code source reference (through doxygen) ?

[Olaf Wasmuth]

Good morning,

I am using doxygen to create a reference manual for C source code. Do
you know of a way to similarly create a texinfo reference manual (which
I would like to use in emacs info-mode, BTW) ? Maybe this is possible
through one of doxygen's already supported output formats.

Kind regards,

Olaf.

This is not a C question, so it is not topical on comp.lang.c
Before you say, "but this is a tool for processing C code," there are
literally thousands of tools for processing C code and if we answered
questions about all of them you would not be able to find the C
questions in amongst the tool questions.

Please restrict any answers to the question to groups other than
comp.lang.c or at the very least set follow ups to exclude comp.lang.c

This is not a C question, so it is not topical on comp.lang.c

Therefore it is off topic in de.comp.lang.c as well, which is another
(btw. German speaking!) C newsgroup.

And, of course, crosspostings without fup2 are ... (put any ugly word in
here).

Fup2p set.

Sorry, but you got me wrong. My focus is on an automatically generated
reference manual for C code that I can use in emacs, preferably in its
info-mode. So I am looking for a tool that parses C code and enables me
to do literate programming. Doxygen, as an example, could be a good
starting point, because it generates a very good reference, however not
suitable for emacs (unless I use the EMACSen w3- or w3m-mode).
Hopefully, because there are "literally thousands of tools for
processing C code", there is one that generates texinfo. I haven't
found one searching the (Use)Net _beforehand_, maybe even texinfo is
not part of a viable solution.

No, I don't think he got you wrong at all. What Flash certainly got
right is that this (comp.lang.c) is the /wrong/ place for you to ask
this sort of question. This group deals with the C /language/ not tools
for processing the C language (apart from the compilers, and then only
to the extent of them being conformant to the standard or not, and how
they process the C language programs).

Also, don't quote signatures...

Cheers

No. _You_ got _us_ wrong!

Fup2p - XP withous fup2 is ... (we already had this).

Why didn't you follow your own advice? I did.

Because discussion of what is topical in comp.lang.c *is* topical in
comp.lang.c

You sound as if you are not aware of what follow-ups do. They do
not affect the distribution of your reply, but only of further
replies to that. They can even be overridden by that eventual
replier.

I'm fully aware of what they do, but the most likely direct reply to a
message saying something is not topical is a message discussing the
topicality.
