Feature Request — Support for doxygen Documentation

Doxygen provides a very nice way of adding documentation to the code thanks to keywords.

Some IDEs support Doxygen natively and display the documentation related to the function being typed in.

Adding my vote to this one. Doxygen would be very useful and I'd hope for it being as robust as the JsDoc implementation.

I would also really like to see this feature implemented. Doxygen support for C++ is the one feature that's really feels missing coming over from Atom.

I fourth that.. had to go back to Eclipse to generate some of them docs

I also feel that adding Doxygen support in VS code would be very beneficial !

The lack of Doxygen block generation is the only thing stopping me to leave Sublime. I need to have something like DocBlockr.

I'd like to have something like DoxyDoxygen in Sublime to generate comment by Alt+Q

ADDITIONALLY:

• Syntax highlighting
• (smart) Docstring generation (customisable)
• Ability to run Doxygen and Doxyfile configurator from the ide.

I don't know what from that could be done by a plugin.

Any update on that feature request? Thanks!

@rei-vilo Comments attached to variables are part of our ongoing work of porting code from VS. If you're asking for doxygen support that don't exist in VS code itself, then that would not something we currently have plans to add.

[rei-vilo]

Good to know, thank you for the feed-back.

Definitely want! I hope this can come soon,

This was my favorite feature of Visual Studio and Visual Assist: https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W206
