+ \page 04-qdoc-commands-textmarkup.html
+ \contentspage QDoc Manual
+ \previouspage Markup Commands
+ \nextpage Document Structure
+
+ \title Text Markup
+
+ The text formatting commands indicate how text is to be rendered.
+
+ \target a-command
+ \section1 \\a (parameter marker)
+
+ The \\a command tells QDoc the next word is a formal parameter name.
+
+ A warning is emitted when a formal parameter is not documented or
+ is misspelled, so when you document a function you should mention
+ each formal parameter by name in the function description,
+ preceded by the \\a command. The parameter name is then rendered
+ in italics.
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ Constructs a line edit containing the text
+ \a contents. The \a parent parameter is sent
+ to the QWidget constructor.
+ * /
+
+ QLineEdit::QLineEdit(const QString &contents, QWidget *parent) :QWidget(parent)
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ \b {QLineEdit::QLineEdit ( const QString &
+ contents, QWidget *parent )}
+
+ Constructs a line edit containing the text \a contents.
+ The \a parent parameter is sent to the QWidget constructor.
+ \endquotation
+
+ The formal parameter name may be enclosed between curly brackets,
+ but that isn't required.
+
+ \target c-command
+ \section1 \\c (code font)
+
+ The \\c command is used for rendering variable names, user-defined
+ class names, and C++ keywords (for example, \c int and \c for) in the code
+ font.
+
+ The command renders its argument using a monospace font. For
+ example:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ The \c AnalogClock class provides a clock widget with hour
+ and minute hands that is automatically updated every
+ few seconds.
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ The \c AnalogClock class provides a clock widget with hour
+ and minute hands, which are automatically updated every
+ few seconds.
+ \endquotation
+
+ If the text to be rendered in the code font contains spaces, enclose the
+ entire text in curly brackets.
+
+ \code
+ \c {QLineEdit::QLineEdit(const QString &contents, QWidget *parent) :QWidget(parent)}
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ \c {QLineEdit::QLineEdit(const QString &contents, QWidget *parent) :QWidget(parent)}
+ \endquotation
+
+ The \\c command accepts the special character \c \ within its
+ argument, which renders it as a normal character. So if you want
+ to use nested commands, you must use the \l {tt-command} {teletype
+ (\\tt)} command instead.
+
+ See also \l {tt-command} {\\tt} and \l {code-command} {\\code}.
+
+ \target div-command
+ \section1 \\div
+
+ The \\div and \\enddiv commands delimit a large or small block of
+ text (which may include other QDoc commands) to which special
+ formatting attributes should be applied.
+
+ An argument must be provided in curly braces, as in the qdoc
+ comment shown below. The argument is not interpreted but is used
+ as attribute(s) of the tag that is output by qdoc.
+
+ For example, we might want to render an inline image so that it
+ floats to the right of the current block of text:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \div {class="float-right"}
+ \inlineimage qml-column.png
+ \enddiv
+
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ If qdoc is generating HTML, it will translate these commands to:
+
+ \code
+ <div class="float-right"><p><img src="images/qml-column.png" /></p></div>
+ \endcode
+
+ For HTML, the attribute value \e {float-right} then will refer to
+ a clause in the style.css file, which in this case could be:
+
+ \code
+ div.float-right
+ {
+ float: right; margin-left: 2em
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ If qdoc is generating DITA XML, it will translate the commands to:
+
+ \code
+ <sectiondiv outputclass="float-right">
+ <p>
+ <fig>
+ <image href="images/qml-column.png" placement="inline"/>
+ </fig>
+ </p>
+ </sectiondiv>
+ \endcode
+
+ Your DITA XML publishing program must then recognize the \e
+ {outputclass} attribute value.
+
+ \note Note that the \b {\\div} command can be nested.
+
+ Below you can find an example taken from the index.qdoc file used to
+ generate index.html for Qt 4.7:
+
+ \code
+ \div {class="indexbox guide"}
+ \div {class="heading"}
+ Qt Developer Guide
+ \enddiv
+ \div {class="indexboxcont indexboxbar"}
+ \div {class="section indexIcon"} \emptyspan
+ \enddiv
+ \div {class="section"}
+ Qt is a cross-platform application and UI
+ framework. Using Qt, you can write web-enabled
+ applications once and deploy them across desktop,
+ mobile and embedded operating systems without
+ rewriting the source code.
+ \enddiv
+ \div {class="section sectionlist"}
+ \list
+ \li \l{Getting Started}
+ \li \l{Installation} {Installation}
+ \li \l{how-to-learn-qt.html} {How to learn Qt}
+ \li \l{tutorials.html} {Tutorials}
+ \li \l{Qt Examples} {Examples}
+ \li \l{qt4-7-intro.html} {What's new in Qt 4.7}
+ \endlist
+ \enddiv
+ \enddiv
+ \enddiv
+ \endcode
+
+ When all the class attribute values are defined as they are in the
+ style.css file that is used for rendering the Qt documentation,
+ the above example is rendered as:
+
+ \div {class="indexbox guide"}
+ \div {class="heading"}
+ Qt Developer Guide
+ \enddiv
+ \div {class="indexboxcont indexboxbar"}
+ \div {class="section indexIcon"} \emptyspan
+ \enddiv
+ \div {class="section"}
+ Qt is a cross-platform application and UI
+ framework. Using Qt, you can write web-enabled
+ applications once and deploy them across desktop,
+ mobile and embedded operating systems without
+ rewriting the source code.

+ \div {class="section sectionlist"}

+ \li Installation
+ \li How to learn Qt
+ \li Tutorials
+ \li Examples
+ \li What's new in Qt 4.7
+ \endlist
+ \enddiv
+ \enddiv
+ \enddiv
+
+ When generating DITA XML, qdoc outputs the nested \e {div} commands as:
+
+ \code
+ <sectiondiv outputclass="indexbox guide">
+ <sectiondiv outputclass="heading">
+ <p>Qt Developer Guide</p>
+ </sectiondiv>
+ <sectiondiv outputclass="indexboxcont indexboxbar">
+ <sectiondiv outputclass="section indexIcon"/>
+ <sectiondiv outputclass="section">
+ <p>Qt is a cross-platform application and UI
+ framework. Using Qt, you can write
+ web-enabled applications once and deploy
+ them across desktop, mobile and embedded
+ operating systems without rewriting the
+ source code.

+
+ Your DITA XML publishing program must recognize the values of the
+ \e {outputclass} attribute.
+
+ See also \l {span-command} {\\span}.
+
+ \target span-command
+ \section1 \\span
+
+ The \\span command applies special formatting to a small block of text.
+
+ Two arguments must be provided, each argument in curly braces, as
+ shown in the QDoc comment below. The first argument is not
+ interpreted, but specifies the formatting attribute(s) of the tag
+ output by QDoc. The second argument is the text to be rendered with
+ the special formatting attributes.
+
+ For example, we might want to render the first word of each
+ element in a numeric list in blue.
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ Global variables with complex types:
+ \list 1
+ \li \span {class="variableName"} {mutableComplex1} in globals.cpp at line 14
+ \li \span {class="variableName"} {mutableComplex2} in globals.cpp at line 15
+ \li \span {class="variableName"} {constComplex1} in globals.cpp at line 16
+ \li \span {class="variableName"} {constComplex2} in globals.cpp at line 17
+ \endlist
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ Class \e {variableName} refers to a clause in your style.css.
+
+ \code
+ .variableName
+ {
+ font-family: courier;
+ color: blue
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ Using the \e {variableName} clause shown above, the example is rendered as:
+
+ Global variables with complex types:
+ \list 1
+ \li \span {class="variableName"} {mutableComplex1} in globals.cpp at line 14
+ \li \span {class="variableName"} {mutableComplex2} in globals.cpp at line 15
+ \li \span {class="variableName"} {constComplex1} in globals.cpp at line 16
+ \li \span {class="variableName"} {constComplex2} in globals.cpp at line 17
+ \endlist
+
+ \note The \b span command does not cause a new paragraph to be
+ started.
+
+ See also \l {div-command} {\\div}.
+
+ \target tt-command
+ \section1 \\tt (teletype font)
+
+ The \\tt command renders its argument in a monospace font. This
+ command behaves just like the \l {c-command} {\\c} command, except
+ that \\tt allows you to nest QDoc commands within the argument
+ (e.g. \l {e-command} {\\e}, \l {b-command} {\\b} and \l
+ {underline-command} {\\underline}).
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ After having populated the main container with
+ child widgets, \c setupUi() scans the main container's list of
+ slots for names with the form
+ \tt{on_\e{objectName}_\e{signalName}().}
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ After having populated the main container with
+ child widgets, \c setupUi() scans the main container's list of
+ slots for names with the form
+ \tt{on_\e{objectName}_\e{signalName}().}
+ \endquotation
+
+ If the text to be rendered in the code font contains spaces, enclose the
+ entire text in curly brackets.
+
+ \code
+ \tt {QLineEdit::QLineEdit(const QString &contents, QWidget *parent) :QWidget(parent)}
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ \tt {QLineEdit::QLineEdit(const QString &contents, QWidget *parent) :QWidget(parent)}
+ \endquotation
+
+ See also \l {c-command} {\\c}.
+
+ \target b-command
+ \section1 \\b
+
+ The \\b command renders its argument in bold font. This command used
+ to be called \\bold.
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ This is regular text; \b {this text is
+ rendered using the \\b command}.
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ This is regular text; \b {this text is rendered using
+ the \\b command}.
+ \endquotation
+
+ \target e-command
+ \section1 \\e (emphasis, italics) \span {class="newStuff"} {(new 5/3/2012)}
+
+ The \\e command renders its argument in a special font, normally italics. This
+ command used to be called \\i, which is now deprecated. Use \e for italics.
+
+ If the argument contains spaces or other punctuation, enclose the
+ argument in curly brackets.
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ Here, we render \e {a few words} in italics.
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ Here, we render \e {a few words} in italics.
+ \endquotation
+
+ If you want to use other QDoc commands within an argument that
+ contains spaces, you always need to enclose the argument in
+ braces. But QDoc is smart enough to count parentheses [3], so you
+ don't need braces in cases like this:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ An argument can sometimes contain whitespaces,
+ for example: \e QPushButton(tr("A Brand New Button"))
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ An argument can sometimes contain whitespaces,
+ for example: \e QPushButton(tr("A Brand New Button"))
+ \endquotation
+
+ Finally, trailing punctuation is not included in an argument [4],
+ nor is "'s" [5]

+
+ However, if you want your text to appear in a monospace font as

+ \title Document Structure
+
+ The document structuring commands are for dividing your document
+ into sections. QDoc supports six kinds of sections: \c \part, \c
+ \chapter, \c \section1, \c \section2, \c \section3, and \c
+ \section4. The \c \section1..4 commands are the most useful. They
+ correspond to the traditional section, subsection, etc used in
+ outlining.
+
+ \target part-command
+ \section1 \\part
+
+ The \\part command is intended for use in a large document, like a
+ book.
+
+ In general a document structuring command considers everything
+ that follows it until the first line break as its argument. The
+ argument is rendered as the unit's title. If the title needs to be
+ spanned over several lines, make sure that each line (except the
+ last one) is ended with a backslash.
+
+ In total, there are six levels of sections in QDoc: \c \part, \c
+ \chapter, \c \section1, \c \section2, \c \section3 and \c
+ \section4. \c \section1 to \c \section4 correspond to the
+ traditional section, subsection, subsubsection and
+ subsubsubsection.
+
+ There is a strict ordering of the section units:
+
+ \code
+ part
+ |
+ chapter
+ |
+ section1
+ |
+ section2
+ |
+ section3
+ |
+ section4
+ \endcode
+
+ For example, a \c section1 unit can only appear as the top level
+ section or inside a \c chapter unit. Skipping a section unit, for
+ example from \c part to \c section1, is not allowed.
+
+ You can \e begin with either of the three: \c part, \c chapter or
+ \c section1.

+
+ The following commands are used to render source code without
+ formatting. The source code begins on a new line, rendered in the
+ code.
+
+ \b{Note:} Although all these commands are for rendering C++
+ code, the
+ \l{07-0-qdoc-commands-includingexternalcode.html#snippet-command}
+ {\\snippet} and
+ \l{07-0-qdoc-commands-includingexternalcode.html#codeline-command}
+ {\\codeline} commands are preferred over the others. These
+ commands allow equivalent code snippets for other Qt language
+ bindings to be substituted for the C++ snippets in the
+ documentation.
+
+ \target code-command
+ \section1 \\code
+
+ The \\code and \\endcode commands enclose a snippet of source code.
+
+ \note The \l {c-command} {\\c} command can be used for short code
+ fragments within a sentence. The \\code command is for longer code
+ snippets. It renders the code verbatim in a separate paragraph in
+ the code font.
+
+ When processing any of the \\code, \l {newcode-command} {\\newcode} or \l
+ {oldcode-command} {\\oldcode} commands, QDoc removes all
+ indentation that is common for the verbatim code blocks within a
+ \c{/}\c{*!} ... \c{*}\c{/} comment before it adds the standard
+ indentation. For that reason the recommended style is to use 8
+ spaces for the verbatim code contained within these commands
+
+ \note This doesn't apply to externally quoted code using the \l
+ {quotefromfile-command} {\\quotefromfile} or \l
+ {quotefile-command} {\\quotefile} command.
+

+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ Other QDoc commands are disabled within \\code... \\endcode, and
+ the special character '\\' is accepted and rendered like the rest
+ of the code.
+
+ To include code snippets from an external file, use the
+ \l{07-0-qdoc-commands-includingexternalcode.html#snippet-command}
+ {\\snippet} and
+ \l{07-0-qdoc-commands-includingexternalcode.html#codeline-command}

+ {\\oldcode}.
+
+ \target newcode-command
+ \section1 \\newcode
+
+ The \\newcode, \\oldcode, and \\endcode commands enable you to
+ show how to port a snippet of code to a new version of an API.
+
+ The \\newcode command and its companion the \\oldcode command are
+ a convenience combination of the \l {code-command} {\\code} commands:
+ this combination provides a text relating the two code snippets to each
+ other.
+
+ The \\newcode command requires a preceding \\oldcode statement.
+
+ Like the \l{code-command}{\\code} command, the \\newcode command renders its
+ code on a new line in the documentation using a monospace font and the
+ standard indentation.
+
+ \code

+
+ The \\snippet command causes a code snippet to be included

+
+ Each code snippet is referenced by the file that holds it and by
+ a unique identifier for that file. Snippet files are typically
+ stored in a \c{snippets} directory inside the documentation
+ directory (for example, \c{$QTDIR/doc/src/snippets}).
+
+ For example, the following documentation references a snippet in a
+ file residing in a subdirectory of the documentation directory:
+
+ \code
+ \snippet snippets/textdocument-resources/main.cpp Adding a resource
+ \endcode
+
+ The text following the file name is the unique identifier for the
+ snippet. This is used to delimit the quoted code in the relevant
+ snippet file, as shown in the following example that corresponds to
+ the above \c{\\snippet} command:
+
+ \dots
+ \code
+ QImage image(64, 64, QImage::Format_RGB32);

+
+ \title Creating Links
+
+ These commands are for creating hyperlinks to classes, functions,
+ examples, and other targets.
+
+ \target l-command
+ \section1 \\l (link)
+
+ The \\l link command is used to create a hyperlink to many
+ different kinds of targets. The command's general syntax is:
+
+ \code
+ \l {link target} {link text}
+ \endcode
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ Read the \l {http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/}
+ {Qt 5.0 Documentation} carefully.
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ Read the \l {http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/}
+ {Qt 5.0 Documentation} carefully.
+ \endquotation
+
+ If the link target is equivalent to the link text, the second
+ argument can be omitted.
+
+ For example, if you have documentation like:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \target assertions
+
+ Assertions make some statement about the text at the
+ point where they occur in the regexp, but they do not
+ match any characters.
+
+ ...
+
+ Regexps are built up from expressions, quantifiers, and
+ \l {assertions} {assertions}.
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ You can simplify this as follows:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \target assertions
+
+ Assertions make some statement about the text at the
+ point where they occur in the regexp, but they do not
+ match any characters.
+
+ ...
+
+ Regexps are built up from expressions, quantifiers, and
+ \l assertions.
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ For the one-parameter version, the braces can often be omitted.
+ The \\l command supports several kinds of links:
+
+ \list
+
+ \li \c {\l QWidget} - The name of a class documented with the \l
+ {class-command} {\\class} command.
+
+ \li \c {\l QWidget::sizeHint()} - The name of a member function,
+ documented with or without an \l {fn-command} {\\fn} command.
+
+ \li \c {\l <QtGlobal>} - The subject of a \l {headerfile-command}
+ {\\headerfile} command.
+
+ \li \c {\l widgets/wiggly} - The relative path used in an \l
+ {example-command} {\\example} command.
+
+ \li \c {\l {QWidget Class Reference}} - The title used in a
+ \l {title-command} {\\title} command.
+
+ \li \c {\l {Introduction to QDoc}}- The text from one of the
+ \l{part-command} {\\part}, \l{chapter} {\\chapter}, or \l
+ {sectionOne-command} {\\section} commands.
+
+ \li \c {\l fontmatching} - The argument of a \l {target-command}
+ {\\target} command.
+
+ \li \c {\l {Shared Classes}} - A keyword named in a \l
+ {keyword-command} {\\keyword} command.
+
+ \li \c {\l network.html} - The file name used in a \l
+ {page-command} {\\page} command.
+
+ \li \c {\l http://qt-project.org/} - A URL.
+
+ \endlist
+
+ QDoc also tries to make a link out of any word that doesn't
+ resemble a normal English word, for example, Qt class names or
+ functions, like QWidget or QWidget::sizeHint(). In these cases,
+ the \\l command can actually be omitted, but by using the command,
+ you ensure that QDoc will emit a warning if it cannot find the
+ link target. In addition, if you only want the function name to
+ appear in the link, you can use the following syntax:
+
+ \list
+ \li \c {\l {QWidget::} {sizeHint()}}
+ \endlist
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ \l {QWidget::} {sizeHint()}
+ \endquotation
+
+ See also \l {sa-command} {\\sa}, \l {target-command} {\\target},
+ and \l {keyword-command} {\\keyword}.
+
+
+ \target sa-command
+ \section1 \\sa (see also)
+
+ The \\sa command defines a list of links that will be rendered in
+ a separate "See also" section at the bottom of the documentation
+ unit.
+
+ The command takes a comma-separated list of links as its
+ argument. If the line ends with a comma, you can continue
+ the list on the next line. The general syntax is:
+
+ \code
+ \sa {the first link}, {the second link},
+ {the third link}, ...
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc will automatically try to generate "See also" links
+ interconnecting a property's various functions. For example, a
+ setVisible() function will automatically get a link to visible()
+ and vice versa.
+
+ In general, QDoc will generate "See also" links that interconnect
+ the functions that access the same property. It recognizes four
+ different syntax versions:
+
+ \list
+ \li \c property()
+ \li \c setProperty()
+ \li \c isProperty()
+ \li \c hasProperty()
+ \endlist
+
+ The \\sa command supports the same kind of links as the \l
+ {l-command} {\\l} command.
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ Appends the actions \a actions to this widget's
+ list of actions.
+
+ \sa removeAction(), QMenu, addAction()
+ * /
+ void QWidget::addActions(QList<QAction *> actions)
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation
+ \b {void QWidget::addActions ( QList<QAction*>
+ \e actions )}
+
+ Appends the actions \e actions to this widget's list of
+ actions.
+
+ See also \l {QWidget::removeAction()} {removeAction()},
+ \l QMenu, and \l {QWidget::addAction()} {addAction()}.

+ \l {keyword-command} {\\keyword}.
+
+
+ \target target-command
+ \section1 \\target
+
+ The \\target command names a place in the documentation that you
+ can link to using the \l {l-command} {\\l (link)} and \l
+ {sa-command} {\\sa (see also)} commands.
+
+ The text up to the line break becomes the target name. Be sure to
+ follow the target name with a line break. Curly brackets are not
+ required around the target name, but they may be required when the
+ target name is used in a link command. See below.
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \target capturing parentheses
+ \section1 Capturing Text
+
+ Parentheses allow us to group elements together so that
+ we can quantify and capture them.
+
+ ...
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ The target name \e{capturing parentheses} can be linked from
+ within the same document containing the target in two ways:
+
+ \list
+ \li \c {\l {capturing parentheses}} (from within the same QDoc comment)
+ \li \c {\l qregexp.html#capturing-parentheses} (from elsewhere in the same document)
+ \endlist
+
+ \note The brackets in the link example are required because the
+ target name contains spaces.
+
+ The target name can be linked to in the following way from other documents:
+
+ \list
+ \li \c {\l http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qregexp.html#capturing-parentheses}
+ \endlist
+
+ See also \l {l-command} {\\l}, \l {sa-command} {\\sa} and \l
+ {keyword-command} {\\keyword}.
+
+ \target keyword-command
+ \section1 \\keyword
+
+ The \\keyword command names a place in the documentation that you
+ can link to using the \l {l-command} {\\l (link)} and \l
+ {sa-command} {\\sa (see also)} commands.
+
+ The \\keyword command is like the \l {target-command} {\\target}
+ command, but stronger. A keyword can be linked from anywhere using
+ a simple syntax.
+
+ Keywords must be unique over all the documents processed during
+ the QDoc run. The command uses the rest of the line as its
+ argument. Be sure to follow the keyword with a line break.

+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \list
+ \li How to Learn Qt
+ \li Installation
+ \li Tutorial and Examples
+ \endlist

+
+ QDoc renders the list items with bullets (the default):
+
+ \list
+ \li How to Learn Qt
+ \li Installation
+ \li Tutorial and Examples
+ \endlist
+
+ \warning There appears to be a bug in qdoc here. If you include
+ any of the argument types, you get a numeric list. We're looking
+ into it.
+
+ If you provide 'A' as an argument to the \\list command, the
+ bullets are replaced with characters in alphabetical order:
+
+ \list A
+ \li How to Learn Qt
+ \li Installation
+ \li Tutorial and Examples
+ \endlist
+
+ If you replace 'A' with '1', the list items are numbered in
+ ascending order:
+
+ \list 1
+ \li How to Learn Qt
+ \li Installation
+ \li Tutorial and Examples
+
+ \endlist
+
+ If you provide 'i' as the argument, the bullets are replaced with
+ roman numerals:
+
+ \list i
+ \li How to Learn Qt
+ \li Installation
+ \li Tutorial and Examples
+ \endlist
+
+ Finally, you can make the list items appear with roman numbers
+ following in ascending order if you provide 'I' as the optional
+ argument:
+
+ \list I
+ \li How to Learn Qt
+ \li Installation
+ \li Tutorial and Examples

+ in. But this capability is not used anywhere other than right
+ here, so it probably isn't important. For now, if you use this

+ The document contents commands identify parts of the documentation,
+ parts with a special rendering, conceptual meaning or
+ function.
+
+ \target abstract-command
+ \section1 \\abstract
+
+ The \\abstract and \\endabstract commands delimit a
+ document's abstract section.
+
+ The abstract section is rendered as an indented italicized

+
+ \warning The \b{\\abstract} and \b{\\endabstract} commands
+ have not been implemented. The abstract section is rendered as a

+
+ \target quotation-command
+ \section1 \\quotation
+
+ The \\quotation and \\endquotation commands delimit a long quotation.
+
+ The text in the delimited block is surrounded by
+ \b{<blockquote>} and \b{</blockquote>} in the html output,
+ e.g.:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ Although the prospect of a significantly broader market is
+ good news for Firstlogic, the notion also posed some
+ challenges. Dave Dobson, director of technology for the La
+ Crosse, Wisconsin-based company, said:
+
+ \quotation
+ As our solutions were being adopted into new

+
+ \target brief-command
+ \section1 \\brief
+
+ The \\brief command introduces a one-sentence description of a
+ class, namespace, header file, property, or variable.
+
+ The brief text is used to introduce the documentation of the
+ associated object, and in lists generated using the \l
+ {generatelist-command} {\\generatelist} command and the \l
+ {annotatedlist-command} {\\annotatedlist} command.
+
+ The \\brief command can be used in two significant different ways:
+ \l {brief class} {One for classes, namespaces and header files},
+ and \l {brief-property} {one for properties and variables}.
+
+ \target brief-property
+
+ When the \\brief command is used to describe a property or a
+ variable, the brief text must be a sentence fragment starting with
+ "whether" (for a boolean property or variable) or starting with
+ "the" (for any other property or variable).
+
+ For example the boolean QWidget::isWindow property:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \property QWidget::isActiveWindow
+ \brief Whether this widget's window is the active window
+
+ The active window is the window that contains the widget that

+ These commands provide miscellaneous functions connected to the
+ visual appearance of the documentation, and to the process of
+ generating the documentation.
+
+ \target annotatedlist-command
+ \section1 \\annotatedlist
+
+ The \\annotatedlist command expands to a list of the members of a
+ group, each member listed with its \e {brief} text. Below is an
+ example from the Qt Reference Documentation:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ ...
+ \section1 Drag and Drop Classes
+
+ These classes deal with drag and drop and the necessary mime type
+ encoding and decoding.
+
+ \annotatedlist draganddrop
+
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ This generates a list of all the C++ classes and/or QML types in
+ the \e{draganddrop} group. A C++ class or QML type in the
+ \e{draganddrop} group will have \e{\\ingroup draganddrop} in its
+ \e{\\class} or \e{\\qmltype} comment.
+
+
+ \target generatelist-command
+ \section1 \\generatelist
+
+ The \\generatelist command expands to a list of various
+ documentation or links to documentation. Below is an example from
+ the Qt Reference Documentation:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \page classes.html
+ \title All Classes
+
+ For a shorter list that only includes the most
+ frequently used classes, see \l{Qt's Main Classes}.
+
+ \generatelist classes
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ This generates the \e {All Classes} page. The command accepts the
+ following arguments:
+
+ \target table example
+ \section2 \c annotatedclasses
+
+ The \c annotatedclasses argument provides a table containing the
+ names of all the classes, and a description of each class. Each
+ class name is a link to the class's reference documentation. For
+ example:
+
+ \table
+ \row
+ \li QDial
+ \li Rounded range control (like a speedometer or potentiometer)
+ \row
+ \li QDialog
+ \li The base class of dialog windows
+ \row
+ \li QDir
+ \li Access to directory structures and their contents
+ \endtable
+
+ A C++ class is documented with the \l {class-command} {\\class}
+ command. The annotation for the class is taken from the argument
+ of the class comment's \l {brief-command} {\\brief} command.
+
+ \target list example
+ \section2 \c classes
+
+ The \c classes argument provides a complete alphabetical list of
+ the classes. Each class name is a link to the class's reference
+ documentation. This command is used to generate the
+ \e {All Classes} page this way:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \page classes.html
+ \title All Classes
+ \ingroup classlists
+
+ \brief Alphabetical list of classes.
+
+ This is a list of all Qt classes. For a list of the classes
+ provided for compatibility with Qt3, see \l{Qt3 Support
+ Classes}. For classes that have been deprecated, see the
+ \l{Obsolete Classes} list.
+
+ \generatelist classes
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ A C++ class is documented with the \l {class-command} {\\class}
+ command.
+
+ \section2 \c classesbymodule
+
+ When this argument is used, a second argument is required, which
+ specifies the module whose classes are to be listed. QDoc
+ generates a table containing those classes. Each class is listed
+ with the text of its \l{brief-command} {\\brief} command.
+
+ For example, this command can be used on a module page as follows:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \page phonon-module.html
+ \module Phonon
+ \title Phonon Module
+ \ingroup modules
+
+ \brief Contains namespaces and classes for multimedia functionality.
+
+ \generatelist{classesbymodule Phonon}
+
+ ...
+
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ Each class that is a member of the specified module must be marked
+ with the \l {inmodule-command} {\\inmodule} command in its \\class
+ comment.
+
+ \section2 \c compatclasses
+
+ The \c compatclasses argument generates a list in alphabetical
+ order of the support classes. It is normally used only to
+ generate the Qt3 Support Classes page this way:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \page compatclasses.html
+ \title Qt3 Support Classes
+ \ingroup classlists
+
+ \brief Enable porting of code from Qt 3 to Qt 4.
+
+ These are the classes that Qt provides for compatibility with Qt
+ 3. Most of these are provided by the Qt3Support module.
+
+ \generatelist compatclasses
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ A support class is identified in the \\class comment with the \l
+ {compat-command} {\\compat} command.
+
+ \section2 \c functionindex
+
+ The \c functionindex argument provides a complete alphabetical
+ list of all the documented member functions. It is normally used
+ only to generate the \e {Qt function index} page
+ this way:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \page functions.html
+ \title All Functions
+ \ingroup funclists
+
+ \brief All documented Qt functions listed alphabetically with a
+ link to where each one is declared.

+ This is the list of all documented member functions and global
+ functions in the Qt API. Each function has a link to the
+ class or header file where it is declared and documented.
+
+ \generatelist functionindex
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ \section2 \c legalese
+
+ The \c legalese argument tells QDoc to generate a complete list of
+ licenses in the documentation. Each license is identified using
+ the \l {legalese-command} {\\legalese} command. This command is
+ used to generate the \e {Qt license information}
+ page this way:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \page licenses.html
+ \title Other Licenses Used in Qt
+ \ingroup licensing
+ \brief Information about other licenses used for Qt components and third-party code.
+
+ Qt contains some code that is not provided under the
+ \l{GNU General Public License (GPL)},
+ \l{GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)} or the
+ \l{Qt Commercial Edition}{Qt Commercial License Agreement}, but rather under
+ specific licenses from the original authors. Some pieces of code were developed
+ by Digia and others originated from third parties.
+ This page lists the licenses used, names the authors, and links
+ to the places where it is used.
+
+ Digia gratefully acknowledges these and other contributions
+ to Qt. We recommend that programs that use Qt also acknowledge
+ these contributions, and quote these license statements in an
+ appendix to the documentation.
+
+ See also: \l{Licenses for Fonts Used in Qt for Embedded Linux}
+
+ \generatelist legalese
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ \section2 \c mainclasses
+
+ The \c mainclasses argument tells QDoc to generate an alphabetical
+ list of the main classes. A class is marked as a main class by
+ including a \l {mainclass-command} {\\mainclass} command in the
+ \\class comment.
+
+ \note The Qt documentation no longer includes a main classes page,
+ but you can generate one for your main classes if you want it.
+
+ \section2 \c overviews
+
+ The \c overviews argument is used to tell QDoc to generate a list
+ by concatenating the contents of all the \l {group-command}
+ {\\group} pages. Qt uses it to generate the \e {overviews} page
+ this way:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \page overviews.html
+
+ \title All Overviews and HOWTOs
+
+ \generatelist overviews
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ \section2 \c related
+
+ The \c related argument is used in combination with the \l
+ {group-command} {\\group} and \l {ingroup-command} {\\ingroup}
+ commands to list all the overviews related to a specified
+ group. For example, the page for the \e {Programming with Qt}
+ page is generated this way:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \group qt-basic-concepts
+ \title Programming with Qt
+
+ \brief The basic architecture of the Qt cross-platform application and UI framework.
+
+ Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework for
+ writing web-enabled applications for desktop, mobile, and
+ embedded operating systems. This page contains links to
+ articles and overviews explaining key components and
+ techniuqes used in Qt development.
+
+ \generatelist {related}
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ Each page listed on this group page contains the command:
+
+ \code
+ \ingroup qt-basic-concepts
+ \endcode
+
+ \section2 \c service
+
+ The \c service argument tells QDoc to generate an alphabetical
+ list of the services. Each service name is a link to the service's
+ reference documentation.
+
+ A service is identified with the \l {service-command} {\\service}
+ command.
+
+ \note This command and the \l {service-command} {\\service}
+ command are not used in the Qt documentation.
+
+ \target if-command
+ \section1 \\if
+
+ The \\if command and the corresponding \\endif command
+ enclose parts of a QDoc comment that only will be included if
+ the condition specified by the command's argument is true.
+
+ The command reads the rest of the line and parses it as an C++ #if
+ statement.
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \if defined(opensourceedition)
+
+ \b{Note:} This edition is for the development of
+ \l{Qt Open Source Edition} {Free and Open Source}
+ software only; see \l{Qt Commercial Editions}.
+
+ \endif
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ This QDoc comment will only be rendered if the \c
+ opensourceedition preprocessor symbol is defined, and specified in
+ the \l {defines-variable} {defines} variable in the configuration
+ file to make QDoc process the code within #ifdef and #endif:
+
+ \code
+ defines = opensourceedition
+ \endcode
+
+ You can also define the preprocessor symbol manually on the
+ command line. For more information see the documentation of the \l

+ \section1 \\endif
+
+ The \\endif command and the corresponding \\if command
+ enclose parts of a QDoc comment that will be included if
+ the condition specified by the \l {if-command} {\\if} command's
+ argument is true.

+ \section1 \\else
+
+ The \\else command specifies an alternative if the
+ condition in the \l {if-command} {\\if} command is false.
+
+ The \\else command can only be used within \l {if-command}
+ {\\if...\\endif} commands, but is useful when there is only two

+
+ \target include-command
+ \section1 \\include
+
+ The \\include command sends all or part of the file specified by
+ its first argument to the QDoc input stream to be processed as a
+ QDoc comment snippet. This command is often assigned the alias,
+ \e {input}, in the QDoc configuration file, for example \e {alias.include
+ = input}.
+
+ The command is useful when some snippet of commands and text is to
+ be used in multiple places in the documentation. In that case,
+ move the snippet into a separate file and use the \\include
+ command wherever you want to insert the snippet into the
+ documentation. To prevent QDoc from reading the file as a
+ stand-alone page of documentation, we recommend that you use the
+ \c .qdocinc extension for these \e {include} files.
+
+ The command can have either one or two arguments. The first
+ argument is always a file name. The contents of the file must be
+ QDoc input, in other words, a sequence of QDoc commands and text, but
+ without the enclosing QDoc comment \c{/}\c{*!} ... \c{*}\c{/} delimiters.
+ If you want to include the entire named file, don't use the second
+ argument. If you want to include only part of the file, see the
+ \l{2-argument-form}{two argument form} below. Here is an example
+ of the one argument form:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \page corefeatures.html
+ \title Core Features
+
+ \include examples/signalandslots.qdocinc
+ \include examples/objectmodel.qdocinc
+ \include examples/layoutmanagement.qdocinc
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ QDoc renders this page \l{corefeatures.html} {as shown here}.
+
+ \target 2-argument-form}
+ \section2 \\include filename snippet-identifier
+
+ It is a waste of time to make a separate \c .qdocinc file for every
+ QDoc include snippet you want to use in multiple places in the
+ documentation, especially given that you probably have to put the
+ copyright/license notice in every one of these files. So if you
+ have a large number of snippets to be included, you can put them all in a
+ single file if you want, and surround each one with:
+ \code
+ //! [snippet-id1]
+
+ QDoc commands and text...
+
+ //! [snippet-id1]
+
+ //! [snippet-id2]
+
+ More QDoc commands and text...
+
+ //! [snippet-id2]
+ \endcode
+
+ Then you can use the two-argument form of the command:
+
+ \code
+ \input examples/signalandslots.qdocinc snippet-id2
+ \input examples/objectmodel.qdocinc another-snippet-id
+ \endcode
+
+ It works as expected. The sequence of QDoc commands and text found
+ between the two tags with the same name as the second argument is
+ sent to the QDoc input stream. You can even nest these snippets,
+ although it's not clear why you would want to do that.
+
+ \target meta-command
+ \section1 \\meta
+
+ The \\meta command is mainly used for including metadata in DITA
+ XML files. It is also used when generating HTML output for specifying
+ the \e maintainer(s) of a C++ class.
+
+ The command has two arguments: the first argument is the name of the
+ metadata attribute, and the second argument is the
+ value for the attribute. Each argument should be enclosed in curly
+ brackets, as shown in this example:
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ \class QWidget
+ \brief The QWidget class is the base class of all user interface objects.
+
+ \ingroup basicwidgets
+
+ \meta {technology} {User Interface}
+ \meta {platform} {OS X 10.6}
+ \meta {platform} {Symbian}
+ \meta {platform} {MeeGo}
+ \meta {audience} {user}
+ \meta {audience} {programmer}
+ \meta {audience} {designer}
+ * /
+ \endcode
+
+ When running QDoc to generate HTML, the example above will have no
+ effect on the generated output, but if you run QDoc to generate
+ DITA XML, the example will generate the following:
+
+ \code
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <!DOCTYPE cxxClass PUBLIC "-//NOKIA//DTD DITA C++ API Class Reference Type v0.6.0//EN" "dtd/cxxClass.dtd">

+ \target omit-command
+ \section1 \\omit
+
+ The \\omit command and the corresponding \\endomit command
+ delimit parts of the documentation that you want QDoc to skip. For
+ example:

+ \table
+ \row
+ \li Basic Widgets
+ \li Basic GUI widgets such as buttons, comboboxes
+ and scrollbars.
+
+ \omit

+ \endraw
+
+ \target raw-command
+ \section1 \\raw \span {class="newStuff"} {(avoid)}
+
+ The \\raw command and the corresponding
+ \\endraw command delimit a block of raw mark-up language code.
+
+ \note Avoid using this command if possible, because it generates
+ DITA XML code that causes problems. If you are trying to generate
+ special table or list behavior, try to get the behavior you want
+ using the \l {span-command} {\\span} and \l {div-command} {\\div}
+ commands in your \l {table-command} {\\table} or \l {list-command}
+ {\\list}.
+
+ The command takes an argument specifying the code's format.
+ Currently, the only supported format is HTML.
+
+ The \\raw command is useful if you want some special HTML effects
+ in your documentation.
+
+ \code
+ / *!
+ Qt has some predefined QColor objects.
+
+ \raw HTML
+ <style type="text/css" id="colorstyles">

+ #color-cyan { background-color: #00ffff; color: #000000 }
+ </style>
+
+ <p>
+ <tt id="color-blue">Blue(#0000ff)</tt>,
+ <tt id="color-darkBlue">dark blue(#000080)</tt> and
+ <tt id="color-cyan">cyan(#00ffff)</tt>.
+ </p>
+ \endraw
+ * /

+
+ QDoc renders this as:
+
+ \quotation

+ </p>
+ \endraw
+ \endquotation
+
+ \note But you can achieve the exact same thing using qdoc
+ commands. In this case, all you have to do is include the color
+ styles in your style.css file. Then you can write:
+
+ \code
+ \tt {\span {id="color-blue"} {Blue(#0000ff)}},
+ \tt {\span {id="color-darkBlue"} {dark blue(#000080)}} and
+ \tt {\span {id="color-cyan"} {cyan(#00ffff)}}.
+ \endcode
+
+ ...which is rendered as:

+
+ \target unicode-command
+ \section1 \\unicode
+
+ The \\unicode command allows you to insert an arbitrary Unicode
+ character in the document.
+
+ The command takes an argument specifying the character as an
