Since Doxygen 1.8, Markdown syntax is recognized in documentation blocks. Markdown is a minimalistic formatting language inspired by plain text email which, similar to wiki syntax, intends to be simple and readable without requiring complicated code like that found in HTML, LaTeX or Doxygen's own commands. Markdown has gained popularity with free software, especially in online platforms like Github, as it allows creating documentation without using complicated code. See the Markdown support section in the Doxygen manual to learn more. Visit the Markdown website to learn more about the origin and philosophy of Markdown.
