How do I customize the title (id="titlearea") of of html output of Doxygen? I'd like to make parts of the text bold.

Doxygen creates a default page title based on PROJECT_NAME, PROJECT_BRIEF and PROJECT_LOGO, but those options don't take html tags, so that I could customize parts of the text that goes in each.

I couldn't find a way to make the title different from PROJECT_NAME.

  • Did you have a look at the possibilities of specifying your own HTML_HEADER( in doxygen configuration file, Doxyfile) ? Commented Mar 15, 2018 at 12:13
  • I didn't because I didn't want to redo the whole header. But I'll do it if no other option is presented. I was thinking of some property somewhere that overrides page title, as setting the title to be the same as project name seems quite ungeneralistic.Thx Commented Mar 15, 2018 at 13:05
  • it is not redoing the whole html_header (as you can get the default with doxygen -w) just in the html_header.html or defining your own css for the projectname. Commented Mar 15, 2018 at 13:52

We can use the customized header.html file to achieve this. Use the following command to generate the doxygen html templates:

doxygen -w html header.html footer.html customdoxygen.css

Then edit the header.html file. Search for the $projectname variable in the header.html file, and then we can add whatever HTML tags or CSS styles with it. To make it bold, change the original contents as bellow, so it could be bold in the generated html.

<strong>$projectname</strong>

Then set the file in the doxygen.conf file, it will pick up the customized header file.

HTML_HEADER = header.html

Well if you want to make it parts of the text bold, we have to make some tricky things to use the available doxygen.conf variables for different purpose, like:

index.html
Revision <a target="_blank" href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/" title="$projectname">$projectnumber</a> last modified at <code>$projectbrief</code>

where we make

  • $projectnumber (PROJECT_NUMBER in doxygen.conf) contains the revision number
  • $projectbrief (PROJECT_BRIEF in doxygen.conf) contains the last modified date
