To add an HTML page in Doxygen, you first need to create the HTML page that you want to include in your documentation. You can use any text editor or HTML editor to create the page.
Once you have created the HTML page, save it with a .html extension and place it in the same directory as your Doxyfile (configuration file for Doxygen).
Next, open your Doxyfile in a text editor and find the INPUT tag. Add the path to the directory containing your HTML page to the INPUT tag.
For example, if your HTML page is in a directory named "html", you would add "html" to the INPUT tag like this:
INPUT = html
Save the Doxyfile and run Doxygen to generate the documentation. Your HTML page should now be included in the generated documentation.
How to add a sidebar to an HTML page in Doxygen?
To add a sidebar to an HTML page in Doxygen, you can use the built-in feature of Doxygen called HTML sidebar. Here is how you can add a sidebar to an HTML page in Doxygen:
- Create a custom HTML header/footer file: Create a custom HTML header/footer file (e.g., custom_header.html and custom_footer.html) in your Doxygen configuration directory. These files will contain the content of your sidebar.
- Add sidebar content to the custom header file: In the custom_header.html file, add the content you want to display in the sidebar. You can include HTML code, links, images, or any other content you want to display in the sidebar.
- Configure Doxygen to use the custom HTML header/footer files: In your Doxygen configuration file (typically named Doxyfile), set the HTML_HEADER and HTML_FOOTER options to point to the custom header and footer files you created:
1 2 |
HTML_HEADER = custom_header.html HTML_FOOTER = custom_footer.html |
- Regenerate the Doxygen documentation: Regenerate the Doxygen documentation using the updated configuration file. The sidebar content from your custom header file will now be displayed on all HTML pages generated by Doxygen.
That's it! You have successfully added a sidebar to an HTML page in Doxygen using a custom HTML header file.
What is the purpose of the "HTML_OUTPUT" setting in a Doxygen configuration file?
The "HTML_OUTPUT" setting in a Doxygen configuration file specifies the directory where the HTML output of the documentation will be generated. This setting determines where all the HTML files, images, and other resources will be saved after running Doxygen on the project's source code. By customizing this setting, users can control where the documentation is saved and accessed after the documentation generation process is complete.
How to include JavaScript in an HTML page in Doxygen?
To include JavaScript in an HTML page in Doxygen, you can add the <script> tag to the HTML code in your Doxygen documentation. Here is an example of how to include JavaScript in an HTML page generated by Doxygen:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My Doxygen Documentation</title> <script src="myscript.js"></script> <!-- Include your JavaScript file here --> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to My Doxygen Documentation</h1> <p>This is a sample HTML page with JavaScript included.</p> </body> </html> |
In the above example, the <script> tag is used to include a JavaScript file called myscript.js in the HTML page. Make sure to replace myscript.js with the actual file path of your JavaScript file.
You can add this HTML code to your Doxygen documentation as part of a description or as a separate HTML file that is included in your Doxygen project. When you generate the HTML documentation using Doxygen, the JavaScript file will be included in the output and will be executed in the web browser.
How to create collapsible sections in an HTML page in Doxygen?
To create collapsible sections in an HTML page in Doxygen, you can use the HTML details and summary elements. Here is an example of how you can implement collapsible sections in your Doxygen-generated HTML documentation:
- Write your content within a element and add a
element as the title of the collapsible section.
1 2 3 4 |
<details> <summary>Section 1</summary> <p>Content of Section 1 goes here.</p> </details> |
- Repeat the above code for each section you want to make collapsible.
- In your Doxygen configuration file (Doxyfile), make sure you have set the EXTRA_STYLESHEET option to include a custom CSS file. This CSS file will style the collapsible sections.
1
|
EXTRA_STYLESHEET = mystyles.css
|
- Create a CSS file (mystyles.css) and style the details and summary elements to make them look better.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
details { margin-bottom: 1em; border: 1px solid #ccc; } summary { cursor: pointer; padding: 0.5em; background-color: #f0f0f0; } details[open] { background-color: #f9f9f9; } |
- Generate the HTML documentation using Doxygen, and you should see collapsible sections in your output with the specified styling.
By following these steps, you can easily create collapsible sections in an HTML page in Doxygen for better organization and presentation of your documentation.
