Hello everyone,
I want to see the doxypress command line support a GNU style command line. I hope the doxypress developers will seriously consider this please. That means a hyphen followed by a single letter or a double hyphen followed by a word. For example, the help option would be specified by either -h or --help. This is the GNU way.
Why the GNU way? Well, why not? If we don't do it the GNU way then it's either the Unix was or completely ad-hoc. The Unix way is for single letters (parsed using getopt) and I hope we all agree that single letters is too cryptic for many.
The trouble for implementors with offering a GNU style command line is that there is no standard class library to help you. And if there were it would then be a dependency for doxypress. So I realise this is not a completely trivial enhancement request. Still, if you don't ask, you don't get!
Enh Rqst for doxpress 1.3.5: command line arguments
Re: Enh Rqst for doxpress 1.3.5: command line arguments
Thanks for your suggestion. We currently support --h and --help. We have the infrastructure set up so we can easily add -h. I am guessing you would like this same single dash for all the single character options.
We will make these changes next week after CppCon 2019.

This has been updated and the changes were pushed to github. We anticipate a new release of DoxyPress towards the beginning of November 2019.
