The Javadoc @see allows a simple string as an argument to refer to something like a book, e.g.:
@see "The Java Programming Language."
As far as I can tell, the Doxygen \see offers no equivalent. Is there any way to have a book reference generated in the documentation, e.g.:
See Also
The C++ Programming Language, Bjarne Stroustrup, Addison-Wesley, 2000, section 19.4.1: The Standard Allocator
?
Clarification
This question is about how to do a "See Also" as part of a comment, e.g.:
/**
* Allocates memory in an amazing way.
* \param size The number of bytes to allocate.
* \return Returns a pointer to the start of the allocated memory.
* \see MyOtherClass::alloc()
* \see "The C++ Programming Language," Bjarne Stroustrup, Addison-Wesley, 2000,
* section 19.4.1: The Standard Allocator.
*/
void* my_alloc( size_t size );
Of course the above does not work in Doxygen. Note that if there are multiple \see tags, they should be merged into a single "See Also" section (like the way \see normally works.
