I have a project with use Qt extensively. The documentation is generated with doxygen. Is it possible to configure doxygen to generate links to online qt documentation.
For example,
/**
* Implements QAbstractListModel.
*/
The comment like this would have in the output an internet link to Qt online documentation of QAbstractListModel.
You can use the TAGFILES option on your Doxyfile then you can setup the online link as TAGFILE. See:
TAGFILES = qtcore.tags=http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/ \
qtgui.tags=http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/ \
qtwidgets.tags=http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/ \
qtxml.tags=http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/ \
qtnetwork.tags=http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/

I was looking on internet about that and in fact I couldn't find the answer. I just tried it and it worked so great for me!!!
Is it possible to configure doxygen to generate links to online qt documentation.
It would have been important for the KDE API documentation, too, but there is no, or at least not a simple way to do it.
However, as you can see on the KDE API page (e.g. KMessageBox and grep for QWidget), you can apply some tricks to at least the method signature, etc, to get the link to the Qt documentation. Perhaps, you could try to apply the same trick to the documentation without doxygen.
In general, you wish to have more than just the doxygen documentation, so I think you would need a more generic approach, respectively.
