    Hello,

    I'm evaluating Qt5.2 to eventually replace C++ Builder for new cross platform projects.

    Is Qt able to generate XML documentation comments from project's source code ?
    So I could use sandcastle to generate the project's documentation from its source code.

    "C# XML documentation comments":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b2s063f7.aspx
    "XE5 XML documentation comments":http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE5/en/XML_Documentation_Comments

    Thanks.
    Alex.

      You can generate XML (and numerous more formats) documentation with "Doxygen":http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/output.html. It is recommended as a tool for creating Qt documentation.

      I am not sure that answers your question, however.

        Thank you for your reply but indeed it does not answer my question.

        I don't want to generate XML documentation but I want to generate documentation from XML comments. XML comments are generated by compilers and they represents all of your C++ classes including comments you add above functions.

        I'm aware of Doxygen but I don't want to use it cause I can't link it with my documentation tool "Help & Manual":http://www.helpandmanual.com/http.

        I guess Qt can't generate XML documenation comments.
