-\title C++ Documentation Style
-\brief Style guidelines for C++ documentation
-
-To generate the documentation, QDoc goes through the source code and generates
-documentation for C++ types such as classes. QDoc then associates member
-functions, properties, and other types to the appropriate class.
-
-Note that the documentation must be in the implementation files such as \c .cpp.
-
-\section1 Class Documentation
-
-Class documentation is generated using the \l{class-command}{\\class} command and
-the name of the class as the first argument.
-
-\snippet examples/cpp.qdoc.sample class
-
-\l{Context commands} add information about the class, such as its module or
-which version the class was added.
-
-Some common context commands are:
-\list
-\li \l{brief-command}{\\brief} - the class' brief description \b (mandatory)
-\li \l{since-command}{\\since} - the version to which the class was added \b (mandatory)
-\li \l{internal-command}{\\internal} - marks the class as internal. Internal
-classes do not appear in the public API documentation.
-\endlist
-
-
-\section2 The Brief and Detailed Description
-
-The \e{brief description} is marked with the \l{brief-command}{\\brief} command
-and it is for summarizing the purpose or functionality of the class. For C++
-classes, QDoc will take the class and create annotated information for the
-class. The annotated information appears in lists and tables which display the
-class.
-
-The C++ brief should start with:
-\code
-"The <C++ class name> class"
-\endcode
-
-The \e{detailed description} section starts after the brief description. It
-provides more information about the class. The detailed description may contain
-images, snippet code, or links to other relevant documents. There
-must be an empty line which separates the brief and detailed description.
-
-\section1 Member Functions
-
-Typically, function documentation immediately precedes the implementation of the
-function in the \c .cpp file. For function documentation that is not immediately
-above the implementation, the \l{fn-command}{\\fn} is needed.
-
-\snippet examples/cpp.qdoc.sample function
-
-The function documentation starts with a verb, indicating the operation the
-function performs. This also applies to constructors and destructors.
-
-Some common verbs for function documentation:
-\list
-\li "Constructs..." - for constructors
-\li "Destroys..." - for destructors
-\li "Returns..." - for accessor functions
-\endlist
-
-The function documentation must document:
-\list
-\li the return type
-\li the parameters
-\li the actions of the functions
-\endlist
-
-The \l{a-command}{\\a} command marks the parameter in the documentation.
-The return type documentation should link to the type documentation or be
-marked with the \l{c-command}{\\c} command in the case of boolean values.
-
-\snippet examples/cpp.qdoc.sample return
-
-\section1 Properties
-
-The property documentation resides immediately above the read function's
-implementation. The \l{writing-topic-commands}{topic command} for properties is
-\l{property-command}{\\property}.
-
-\snippet examples/cpp.qdoc.sample property
-
-Property documentation usually starts with "This property...", but these are
-alternate expressions:
-\list
-\li "This property holds..."
-\li "This property describes..."
-\li "This property represents..."
-\li "Returns \c true when... and \c false when..." - for properties that
-are read.
-\li "Sets the..." - for properties that configure a type.
-\endlist
-
-Property documentation must include:
-\list
-\li description and behavior of the property
-\li accepted values for the property
-\li the default value of the property
-\endlist
-Similar to \l{Member Functions}{functions}, the default type may be linked
-or marked with the \c{\c} command.
-
-An example of a value range style is:
-\quotation
-The values range from 0.0 (no blur) to maximumRadius (maximum blur). By default, the property is set to 0.0 (no blur).
-\endquotation
-
-\section1 Signals, Notifiers, and Slots
-The \l{writing-topic-commands}{topic command} for signals, notifiers, and slots
-is \l{fn-command}{\\fn}. Signal documentation state when they are triggered
-or emitted.
-
-\snippet examples/cpp.qdoc.sample signals
-
-Signal documentation typically begin with "This signal is triggered when...".
-Here are alternate styles:
-\list
-\li "This signal is triggered when..."
-\li "Triggered when..."
-\li "Emitted when..."
-\endlist
-
-For slots or notifiers, the condition when they are executed or triggered by
-a signal should be documented.
-\list
-\li "Executed when..."
-\li "This slot is executed when..."
-\endlist
-
-For properties that have overloaded signals, QDoc groups the overloaded
-notifiers together. To refer to a specific version of a notifier or signal,
-simply refer to the property and mention that there are different versions of
-the notifier.
-
-\snippet examples/cpp.qdoc.sample overloaded notifier
-
-\section1 Enums, Namespaces, and Other Types
-
-Enums, namespaces, and macros have a \l{writing-topic-commands}{topic command} for their documentation:
-\list
-\li \l{enum-command}{\\enum}
-\li \l{typedef-command}{\\typedef}
-\li \l{macro-command}{\\macro}
-\endlist
-
-The language style for these types mention that they are an enum or a macro and
-continues with the type description.
-
-For enumerations, the \l{value-command}{\\value} command is for listing the
-values. QDoc creates a table of values for the enum.
-
