You are not going to get Doxygen to create one .html file and nothing else. Doxygen will drop its additional "overhead" files into the output html directory, even if your .html file does not reference them. It will include an index.html (even if it is basically empty), and some other .html files autogenerated. That said, it should be possible to create a .html file you can copy out of Doxygen's output directory to your own web pages. Read the commentary in your [generated] Doxyfile under HTML_HEADER and HTML_FOOTER and HTML_STYLESHEET *carefully* -- use "doxygen -w html new_header.html new_footer.html new_stylesheet.css" and then edit each of new_header.html, new_footer.html, and new_stylesheet.css to suit your web pages and specify these three files in your Doxyfile. If your HTML_HEADER, HTML_FOOTER, and HTML_STYLESHEET files are crafted properly, you should end up with a single .html file you can copy away from Doxygen's output. Doxygen will still drop some other random files in that directory that you will just ignore. > > Regards, > Richard. > > [1] actually Qt3.
