Is it possible to create a central glossary with doxygen

Question

I want to create and link to a central glossary using doxygen.

For creating the glossary, I would use a "glossary.md" file in my doxygen search path. The content is available through "related pages".

Would it be possible to link to entries in this glossary page from anywhere in my documentation?

Best regards Andreas

Answer 1

I was able to solve the problem using the sections command and references onto them, but more elegant solutions would be welcome.

So my glossary.md file looks like:

@section GLOSSARY_ISR ISR
Interrupt service routine: ...

In my Doxyfile I added

ALIASES = "glos{1}=[\1](\ref GLOSSARY_\1)"

to be able to use a simple syntax from my code documentation as the following

Therefore an \glos{ISR} is used
