Doxygen is the central point for source documentation at this moment (January 2011).
It is a software which extracts (special) comments from sourcecode to produce source documentation.
- Nightlies
- This is done and put online on a regular basis at code.gnucash.org/docs/ for both branches :
- STABLE, the next minor bugfix and after creation
- FUTURE, the next major release.

[hide]Creating the Source Documentation
See Building for the setup. Then it can be run on your local copy of the sources depending on your Build Tools
- Important
- You need to have doxygen installed for this. Otherwise the target doc will not be available.
This will populate ${BUILDDIR}/libgnucash/doc. Problems will be logged there to doxygen.log. The HTML docs can be found in it's subdirectory html.
It's configuration gets created from ${SOURCEDIR}/libgnucash/doc/doxygen.cfg.in.
Doxygen Elements
- To mark a C style comment for Doxygen, it has to start with /** or /*!.
- Usually the explaining comment should be in front of a declaration. If the comment is behind a member declaration, the next symbol should be
<, resulting in /**< or /*!<. - Doxygen keywords begin with
\or@. - To document global objects, you must document the file in which they are defined:
/*! \file */
- or
/** @file */
Improving the Source Documentation
A header file of a public API should have the following Doxygen section:/**
* @addtogroup <module>
* @{
* @file
* @brief <A brief description>
* @author Copyright (C) <year> <name> <email>
*/
