Too many things escaped in the ALIASES command

[anb0s]

Original Savannah ticket 9166 reported by None on Sat May 19 18:36:45 2007.

Attempting to use the ALIASES command of DOXYGEN to add xrefitems.

The final Alias command I want in the Doxyfile should be:

ALIASES = "message=\xrefitem messages "Message" "Messages""

However, when using the GUI mode to edit the Doxyfile, I add an entry in the Aliases section with the following text:

message=\xrefitem messages "Message" "Messages"

When I do this, I get the following text in the Doxygen file: ALIASES = "message=\xrefitem messages "Message" "Messages""

...which doesn't work. Looks like the "" before the xrefitem is being escaped. Only quotes need to be escaped for the ALIASES command.

The workaround is to hand-edit the file.

All right... I thought my automatic escaping would work better than this. I will check how to improve it.

Thank you for your bug submission.

Well, I thought a way to solve that problem. I think it would be better eclox don't do any automatic character escape but only warns the user if any character shoulb be escaped.

So the user will be informaed that something may go wrong in what he entered and he is supposed to know how to handle this.

Implementation may start soon :)
