We use the Doxygen documentation style (it is very similar to PHPDoc for the subset that we use) to produce auto-generated documentation from code comments (see Manual:mwdocgen.php). Begin a block of Doxygen comments with, instead of the Qt-style formatting. Doxygen structural commands start with. (Use  rather than   as the escape character – both styles work in Doxygen, but for backwards and future compatibility MediaWiki has chosen the   style.) They organize the generated documentation (using  ) and identify authors (using   tags).
