Basile, there's nothing special about Doxygen. It's just an example of
a tool that generates cross-reference information. I think you can
reasonably distinguish the kind of thing that comes out of JavaDoc or
Doxygen from a manual. If you don't know what kind of output JavaDoc
and Doxygen produce, please go read about them for a while and look at
some examples.
