In the Doxygen XML output, I noticed that I cannot end a sentence with a URL because the period is placed inside the hyperlink that Doxygen auto-generates.

For example, if I have the following sentence in the brief description of my source code...

For more information, see http://www.google.com.

Then the XML output interprets the sentence as ...

"For more information, see http://www.google.com."

It should be:

"For more information, see http://www.google.com."

Also, is there a way to prevent Doxygen from converting URLs into active hyperlinks? Sometimes I need to refer to URLs that don't exist (i.e. http://host:port) so I don't always want them converted. The only way, as far as I can tell, is to place the URL in quotations.

An other problem with hyper-linking is that when one uses file: followed by a this is also seen as the start of a hyper-link.
Example:
!> @brief writes info to file: oops
subroutine wr()
end

Created attachment 192918
Patch for "file:: and for ".: at end

This patch fixes the file: problem by specifying that a least one character has to follow the : (i.e replaced * in + in the definition of the URLMASK)

Created a new rule for the URL that matches the URL plus a "." but leaves this "." in the input stream.

Thanks Albert,

I'll include the patch in the next subversion update.

To prevent an automatic link to http://host:port, use %http://host:port
