can be generated automatically. All nontrivial functions should have a comment
above them explaining what the function does, even if it is just one sentence.
All structures and their member variables should be documented, too.

+Avoid Qt-style and similar Doxygen syntax with @code{!} in it, i.e. replace
+@code{//!} with @code{///} and similar. Also @@ syntax should be employed
