When writing your documentation using only this, you can be sure to get reasonable LaTeX and HTML documentation for your code.

There are some additional LaTeX macros provided by DOC++:

• #...# corresponds to the LaTeX \verb!...!, i.e. outputs ... verbatim.
• \Ref{...} allows to specify a reference to a manual entry with name ....
• \URL{...} allows to specify a link to the WWW page ....
• \URL[my text]{...} allows to specify my text as the links name.
• \TEX{...} allows to include any complicated LaTeX code into you document. For HTML output DOC++ will have LaTeX to process it, produce gifs out of it and includes them into the HTML document. NOTE: This requires LaTeX, dvips, ghostscript and ppmtools to be correctly installed to your system!
