Doc: Add \include snippets with optional parameters
There are many different wordings for how to use the module across the module landing pages. The goal here is to provide consistent wording and code formatting, which can be used across all landing pages. The style and wording is based on what has been implemented in the Qt CoAP module landing page. This is the syntax in a qdoc file: \include {module-use.qdoc} {<snippet-id>} {<argument1>} Inside qdocinc, you can then get the value of the argument1 using the parameter \1. Task-number: QTBUG-100369 Change-Id: Ib25e509e119008157e69db629eb011e5a9074022 Pick-to: 6.3 Reviewed-by: Kai Koehne <kai.koehne@qt.io>
