To change Doxygen to not use any file extension, you need to modify the configuration file. In the Doxygen configuration file, you can specify the file patterns that Doxygen should consider as input files. By removing the file extension from the list of accepted file patterns, you can make Doxygen process files without any extension. This allows you to include files that do not have an extension or have a different extension than what Doxygen typically expects. Once you have made the necessary changes to the configuration file, you can run Doxygen to generate the documentation for your project without restrictions on file extensions.
How to customize Doxygen to ignore file extensions?
To customize Doxygen to ignore certain file extensions, you can use the FILE_PATTERNS configuration option in your Doxyfile.
Here's how you can do it:
- Open your Doxyfile in a text editor.
- Search for the FILE_PATTERNS configuration option. If it doesn't exist, you can add it at the bottom of your Doxyfile.
- Add the file extensions you want to ignore to the FILE_PATTERNS option. You can use wildcards such as *.extension to match all files with that extension.
For example, if you want to ignore all files with the .txt and .md extensions, you can add the following line to your Doxyfile:
1
|
FILE_PATTERNS = *.txt *.md
|
- Save the Doxyfile and regenerate the documentation to apply the changes.
After making these changes, Doxygen should ignore any files with the specified file extensions when generating the documentation.
How to modify Doxygen settings to exclude file extensions?
To exclude file extensions from being included in the Doxygen documentation, you can use the EXCLUDE directive in the Doxygen configuration file. Here's how you can modify the settings:
- Open the Doxygen configuration file (typically named Doxyfile).
- Search for the EXCLUDE directive in the file. If it is not present, you can add it to the file.
- Add the file extensions that you want to exclude from the documentation, separated by spaces. For example, to exclude files with .txt, .log, and .bak extensions, you can add the following line: EXCLUDE = *.txt *.log *.bak
- Save the configuration file and run Doxygen to generate the documentation. The files with the excluded extensions will not be included in the documentation.
By following these steps, you can exclude specific file extensions from being included in the Doxygen documentation.
How to eliminate file extensions in Doxygen output?
To eliminate file extensions in the Doxygen output, you can use the STRIP_FROM_PATH configuration option in the Doxyfile. Here's how you can do it:
- Open the Doxyfile in a text editor.
- Search for the STRIP_FROM_PATH option in the file.
- Uncomment the STRIP_FROM_PATH option if it is commented out.
- Set the value of STRIP_FROM_PATH to the directory path that you want to strip from the file paths. For example, if you want to eliminate the file extensions for all files in the src directory, you can set it to src.
- Save the changes to the Doxyfile.
After you make these changes and run Doxygen again, the file extensions should be eliminated from the output.
