Basically, Doxygen transforms one set of files into another set of files. It 
was created namely for documenting programming-language source files. It can 
also be (mis)used for non-programming sources. But there may be better tools 
for writing just some "text documents" (for example ASCIIDOC). As far as I 
know, anyone can use Doxygen for free. And as Doxygen only transforms source 
files to target files, and the collaborators would only write the source files, 
they do not need to use Doxygen if they do not want. The transformation can be 
done by someone else. On the other hand, when writing a source file, one would 
like to check the result occasionally.

Can you describe what kind of "guide document" you want to build?

Doxygen does not solve the collaboration on sources by more people. The key 
problem of that collaboration is to keep versions and to solve collisions. For 
that purpose, "version control systems" were designed. And from them I would 
recommend to use Git (https://git-scm.com/)

Have a nice day,
Petr

Subject: [Doxygen-users] Utilizing Doxygen for collaborative document building

I would like to build and edit a guide document with doxygen. I would like the 
document to be able to be edited by multiple members on my team. What is the 
best way to go about this? Does each individual need to have access to doxygen/ 
license? 

Thanks
