Support for API docs in other programming languagee (Doxygen integration)

[sloede]

Is there any way I can use Documenter.jl to show API documentation for source code written in another language? Specifically, I have a project with both C and Julia code and would optimally like to have the APIs both shown in Documenter.jl.

Or is there maybe a way to massage/postprocess data generated by Doxygen?

Could you turn the C API docs into Julia docstrings? You could parse the Doxygen output and then dynamically construct the Julia objects and docstrings. Alternatively, I would suggest looking into hacking Documenter, doing it as some kind of a plugin.

We looked at this for a while but realized that it is way too much effort for the little amount of non-Julia code we need with a documented API. We thus decided to host a small doxygen page as a subsite of our main Documenter.jl-driven documentation site.

I think it would still be worthwhile to be able to include this in Documenter.jl, thus I'll leave this open for now (but feel free to close if you want to declutter the issue list).
