/*! \page autolink Automatic link generation

  \tableofcontents{html,latex}

  Most documentation systems have special `see also' sections where links
  to other pieces of documentation can be inserted.
  Although Doxygen also has a command to start such a section (See section
  \ref cmdsa "\\sa"), it does allow you to put these kind of links anywhere in the
  documentation. 
  For \LaTeX documentation a reference to the page number
  is written instead of a link. Furthermore, the index at the end of the 
  document can be used to quickly find the documentation of a member, class, 
  namespace or file.
  For man pages no reference information is generated.

  The next sections show how to generate links to the various documented 
  entities in a source file.

  \section linkurl Links to web pages and mail addresses

  Doxygen will automatically replace any URLs and mail addresses found in the
  documentation by links (in HTML). To manually specify link text, use the
  HTML '<tt>a</tt>' tag:
  \verbatim <a href="linkURL">link text</a> \endverbatim
  which will be automatically translated to other output formats by Doxygen.

  \section linkclass Links to classes

  All words in the documentation that correspond to a documented class and
  contain at least one non-lower case character will automatically be 
  replaced by a link to the page containing the 
  documentation of the class. If you want to prevent that a word 
  that corresponds to a documented class is replaced by a link you
  should put a \% in front of the word.
  To link to an all lower case symbol, use \ref cmdref "\\ref".

  \section linkfile Links to files

  All words that contain a dot (<tt>.</tt>) that is not the last character
  in the word are considered to be file names.
  If the word is indeed the name of a documented input file, a link will 
  automatically be created to the documentation of that file.

  \section linkfunc Links to functions

  Links to functions are created if one of the following patterns is 
  encountered:
  <ol>
  <li><tt>\<functionName\>"("\<argument-list\>")"</tt>
  <li><tt>\<functionName\>"()"</tt>
  <li><tt>"::"\<functionName\></tt>
  <li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\>"("\<argument-list\>")"</tt>
  <li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\>"("\<argument-list\>")"\<modifiers\></tt>
  <li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\>"()"</tt>
  <li><tt>(\<className\>"::")<sup>n</sup>\<functionName\></tt>
  </ol>
  where n\>0. 

  \par Note 1: 
    Function arguments should be specified with correct types, i.e. 
    'fun(const std::string&,bool)' or '()' to match any prototype.
  \par Note 2:
    Member function modifiers (like 'const' and 'volatile') 
    are required to identify the target, i.e. 'func(int) const' and 'func(int)'
    target different member functions.
  \par Note 3: 
    For Javadoc compatibility a \# may be used instead of a :: in 
    the patterns above.
  \par Note 4:
    In the documentation of a class containing a member foo, 
    a reference to a global variable is made using "::foo", whereas \#foo
    will link to the member.

  For non overloaded members the argument list may be omitted.

  If a function is overloaded and no matching argument list is specified
  (i.e. pattern 2 or 6 is used), a link will be created to the 
  documentation of one of the overloaded members.

  For member functions the class scope (as used in patterns 4 to 7) may
  be omitted, if:
  <ol>
  <li>The pattern points to a documented member that belongs to the same class
      as the documentation block that contains the pattern. 
  <li>The class that corresponds to the documentation blocks that contains
      the pattern has a base class that contains a documented member
      that matches the pattern.
  </ol>

  \section linkother Links to other members

  All of these entities can be linked to in the same way as described in the 
  previous section. For sake of clarity it is advised to only use 
  patterns 3 and 7 in this case.

  \par Example:
  \include autolink.cpp
  \htmlonly
  Click <a href="examples/autolink/html/class_autolink___test.html">here</a> 
  for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by Doxygen.
  \endhtmlonly
  \latexonly
  See \hyperlink{autolink_example}{Autolink example}
  for the corresponding \mbox{\LaTeX} documentation that is generated by Doxygen.
  \endlatexonly

  \section resolving typedefs

  Typedefs that involve classes, structs and unions, like
\verbatim
typedef struct StructName TypeName
\endverbatim
  create an alias for StructName, so links will be generated to StructName, 
  when either StructName itself or TypeName is encountered.
  
  \par Example:
  \include restypedef.cpp
  \htmlonly
  Click <a href="examples/restypedef/html/restypedef_8cpp.html">here</a> 
  for the corresponding HTML documentation that is generated by Doxygen.
  \endhtmlonly
  \latexonly
  See \hyperlink{restypedef_8cpp}{Typedef example}
  for the corresponding \mbox{\LaTeX} documentation that is generated by Doxygen.
  \endlatexonly

\htmlonly
Go to the <a href="output.html">next</a> section or return to the
 <a href="index.html">index</a>.
\endhtmlonly
