Hi everyone,

since Visual Studio (not VS Code!) never provided built-in syntax highlighting of Doxygen commands in C++ comments and previous extensions were no longer maintained, I wrote one: VSDoxyHighlighter is open source and available for Visual Studio 2022 on github (https://github.com/Sedeniono/VSDoxyHighlighter) as well as the VS marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Sedenion.VSDoxyHighlighter). See these two pages for some images.

The extension not only comes with syntax highlighting but also offers autocomplete of commands while you type them, and quick info tooltips when hovering with the mouse over commands. It supports all "special" commands of the current Doxygen 1.9.8 and has some (rudimentary) markdown support. I ensured that the performance impact of the syntax highlighting is minimal; I use it in files containing more than 20000 lines of code without problems. I have also not received any problem reports in the several months that the extension is available, so it is pretty stable.
