Why are comments that start with “//!” colored blue in Qt Creator?

问题

Qt Creator normally colors comments green, but I saw blue colored comments in the Qt Examples, and Qt Creator seems to color every comment that starts with //! in blue.

Here's an example screenshot:

Is this some convention? What does the blue signify?

回答1:

It's a Doxygen comment.

There are multiple styles:

Qt block comment:

/*!
... text ...
*/

Qt one-line comment:

//! ... one line of text ...

JavaDoc block comment:

/**
  * ... text ...
*/

JavaDoc one-line comment:

/// ... one line of text ...

回答2:

Comments that begin with //! are the Qt style for code documentation as contrasted with regular comments. See the doxygen manual for details on the structure of it, but basically, these kinds of comments are intended for automatic extraction into documentation about the code.
