Why is Doxygen so unfriendly to mobiles?

Tags:

doxygen

Doxygen seems to be the number one choice for code documentation in C++ (and many other languages) but every time I browse Doxygen generated doc from my phone, the site literally does not scroll, text is horribly small ...

How come ?

I come from python/sphinx, and sites like readthedocs.org manage perfectly mobile friendliness in the HTML generation (IMO), whereas the most popular documentation system around can't ? I must be missing something.

I tried looking around the interwebs for some HTML theme minimising problems, but no one even mentions the pain of trying to browse API references from a phone (yes, I do that :p)

Anyone experience the same problems or has a solution / workaround ?

Ps: Try Google mobile friendliness test on doxygen API sites like this intro to Doxygen, generated with Doxygen

EDIT [2017] : Seems Doxygen is getting better, the link in question is now "fully compatible with mobile" according to the quoted google tool. Thanks to everyone in the community making things better !

There is a project on github called doxygen-bootstrapped using bootstrap for doxygen documentation, making it much more mobile friendly. See this demo.

The demo is marked as mobile-friendly by your link
