Thanks.
Is this QDoc similar to Doxygen?
I never used Doxygen, perhaps I should "check it out " too.

Appertly I did used a file which was "run thru " QDoc ?
So far seems like magic, but I will RTFM to get used to it.

Thanks again.

PS
Mrs Google was of no help pointing to QDoc... Perhaps I did not ask nicely.

A file that has QDoc specific comments.

Better focus on Doxygen. It uses the same syntax and is focused on generating project documentation. qdoc is intended as an internal thing in Qt to generate Qt documentation only.
