Hello, I have seen this topic covered a few times in the archives, but there does not seem to be a lot of activity in this area. I am very interested in using Doxygen to generate documentation for VHDL and other file types such as shell scripts, makefiles and the like. Seems to me that moving to modular architecture for Doxygen would be a big enabler for those interested in having multi-language support. For example, a plugin architecture that would allow development of language specific front ends that would produce language-neutral data for the Doxygen core to process. Back end plugins could then format this information. I am more that willing to work on a VHDL front-end (plugin), but, sadly, my time and skills are probably not up to the task of helping re-architect Doxygen! Is such an approach feasible?
