When attempting to nest one alias with multiple arguments inside a second alias with multiple arguments, doxygen miss counts the number of arguments in the outer alias.

The following example shows this behavior.

/** @mainpage

• @alias1{test1, test2, @alias2{test3, test4}}
  */

Produced with config

ALIASES = alias1{3}="\section \1, \2\n

\3"
ALIASES += alias2{2}="\1\2"

Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next GIT update.

This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.5. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant.

Hi, I am currently using the latest release 1.8.5 of doxygen for TCL and C/C++.

This issue still seems to be happening:

When defining:

ALIASES                += apitest{2}="ARG0: \1 ARG1: \2"

The following code

/**
 * \mainpage
 * \apitest{A, B \apitest{C, D}}
 */

ends up in

ARG0: A ARG1: B {C, D}

I tried various combinations of escaping '{', ',' and '}'
Always leading to similar output.

Can you verify this, it is getting a very urgent issue for us.
