Usually editors provide templates and content assist for this. You can find a list of plugins/helpers for popular editors there: http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/helpers.html, including a Visual Studio 2005 helper there: http://doxycomment.sourceforge.net/vs2005_addin.html. I thought that Eclipse CDT templates could be used for this but I've not been able able to get them to work... so I'll type these comments by hand for now, and may try to write an Eclipse plugin to automate the generation of comment skeletons when I get tired of it :) Doxygen supports Qt style comments: /*! ... and javadoc style comments /** ... Both styles seem to support \param \return and @param @return Could people in the group experiment a bit with the available editor tools and say which style they like? Details and examples can be found there: http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/docblocks.html Personally I'm OK with either one, the most important is to get meaningful text after the \ or @ :) We could also use both styles for a while, time to get some experience with any of the tools, and do a global change to our "official" format later.
