Add support for more languages
ZedThree opened this issue · comments
There is a patch on the original sourceforge repo for Fortran support: https://sourceforge.net/p/doxymacs/patches/12/
It needs some tidying up before it can be merged. I'll give it a shot.
In general, it would be nice to add support for other languages too. Even better would be to make it easily extensible.
As a short-term solution, I think it would be a good idea to work off of that patch. if you want to submit a pull request when you get a chance, I can review the patch.
In the long term, though, I think going down this particular route in order to add support for other languages isn't the right way to go about doing. I've talked briefly with the team behind Doxypress, a compatible fork of Doxygen that seems to be moving more quickly and a little more responsive, and I think having some sort of better integration there (instead of trying to patch things on top of c++-mode, fortran-mode, etc, which is essentially what we do now) would be the best way forward. Something along the lines of a libclang for doxy{gen,press}. I will need to talk further with the doxypress team about ways we can do this.
Merged into master.
