How to document Ruby code using Doxygen?

Question

Question: How can I document Ruby code using Doxygen?

Disclaimer: I know ruby already has a system for documentation built in and there are probably other ways to do it as well, but the specific constraint I am operating under is how to get Doxygen to do the job (assuming it is possible).

Answer 1

Short answer, no. Long answer, still no. Doxygen will come to Ruby eventually, but I don't have the sense that it's going to happen any time soon. In the short term, you're stuck with either RDoc or YARD.

Answer 2

You can try out a testing version at https://github.com/fourmond/doxygen-ruby-patch. It is still experimental though, but through testing it will hopefully be integrated into mainstream doxygen.
