Paul listed very useful features and directives of Doxygen, but without
explanation how to use them to write rockstar documentation for Boost.

Doxygen has a feature which may be considered as weakness for Boost,
it is how Doxygen structures documentation, at least, the HTML pages.
I think Doygen can deliver content (the XML output) and it needs to be
processed and combined into structure required  (and defined) by Boost
authors.
