Hello,
  I am working on a project that does crontab-like time specifications.  I
am attempting to use doxygen, but I ran into the following problem.  When
describing possible formats, I am trying to say:

/**
The slash character can be used to identify step values.  It can be used in
the form */c and a-b/c.
*/

The problem is that when it gets to "*/c" it looks (to the c compiler) that
the comment has ended.  I can escape that, of course:

/**
The slash character can be used to identify step values.  It can be used in
the form *\/c and a-b/c.
*/

This makes the compiler happy, but the output documentation has the escape
character.  I even tried to use the HTML ascii code (&@47;) to create the
slash, but the HTML output had the code, not the character.


Finally, I know that I can start every line with "///" instead of using the
/** ... */.  This description is part of a very large comment block
(describing many of the possible ways to construct a crontab entry) and as
such, I would much prefer to use the block style comments.

Is there a way to escape a */ sequence inside a comment block?

Thanks in advance for any help,
