Very little Doxygen documentation is currently available in Octave's source code. Which is why "Doxygen documentation for the C++ classes" is listed in the [http://wiki.octave.org/Projects#Documentation_and_On-Line_Help Projects] page of this wiki.

==== Doxygen Style Guide ====
Doxygen allows for a variety of commenting styles. In order to maintain uniformity across the entire project the following rules should be applied:
* For short Doxygen comments use {{codeline|//!}}
* For longer comments use {{codeline|/*! ... */}}
* For longer comments do not add {{codeline|*}} before each line
* Use {{codeline|@}} for any Doxygen Special Commands
An example  of properly used Doxygen would look like:
<pre>
//! Short Comment.
/*!
    Longer comment with special command and syntax highlighting:
    @code{.cc}
    double v = 1.0;
    @endcode
*/
</pre>
For actual use example look at [http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/1327ea4f5a93/liboctave/array/Array.h#l46 liboctave/array/Array.h]
