The main page is the src/README.TXT file. There's not much magic to
it. Most HTML tags are understood, and I suggest we use those as much
as possible over doxygen syntax since most people already grok HTML.

Code comments are doxygenified simply by changing them from:

 /*
  ...
  */

  //

To:

 /*!
  ...
  */

  ///

There are some limitations on where a function description can/should
be put. But I suggest people look at
http://www.abisource.com/doxygen/class_fp_Container.html and the
fp_Container.cpp/h files for examples.

I (or someone else) should add some doxygen primer and guidinglines
for use in AbiWord to the main page so the information is readily
available. The barrier to adding documentation should be essentially
zero - everybody with an understanding of C/C++ should be able to
help.
