Objective-C syntax in doxygen markdown pages

Question

So I am trying to have a documentation guide page for my doxygen generated documentation documentation for my objective-c project, but it doesn't seem to work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.m}
/**
 This is the private interface of class.
*/
@interface GeneralClass ()
@end
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The issue is that the @interface causes doxygen to try to make an interface for a page instead of just outputting the markdown syntax highlighting for objective-c. Is there a way around this?

Thank you for your time.

I think you ran into this bug/limitation: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720049

For now I recommend to use the suggested workaround, i.e. use @code...@endcode instead.
