Do you have an idea how altering the escaping behaviour based on the comment
syntax could look like?
The comment kinds/styles which are attached to symbols can be distinguished
using the
[RawComment::CommentKind](https://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/classclang_1_1RawComment.html#a1d5ae0acdc245f39b71a158ec9932038)
enum.
One simple differentiation could be normal and BCPL comments. These could be
escaped e.g.
All other kinds are valid doxygen code blocks.
Of course we could say `RCK_BCPLSlash` is escaped and `RCK_JavaDoc` not.
But doxygen does not distinguish between those and the `MARKDOWN_SUPPORT`
option would affect all equally.
Also, I have no idea how we could distinguish documentation styles for other
tools, like `headerdoc` which is mentioned in `RCK_Qt` comment kind.
I dont know how the markdown behaviour with `headerdoc` is or if its even
supported.
I think, even if we distinguish the different comment styles to determine the
escaping behaviour, there is no universal solution which satisfies all users
with such an approach.
Introducing an option to configure the escaping behaviour is the most user
friendly way imo.
Such an option could also be extended to allow different escaping behaviour for
different comment styles.
Note: this patch is the first one to support parsing of doxygen style comments
and showing the parsed documentation as markdown in the hover.
Meaning doxygen special commands like `\b bold` will be translated to markdown
`**bold**` to be rendered similar to doxygen output by the client.
We could also make a new option to enable/disable the doxygen parsing as a
whole and only apply the new escaping behaviour if doxygen parsing is
configured by the user.
