Doxygen oddity under Msys\mingw (possibly others!) - [General Use] "'MacArthur, Ian (Leonardo, UK)' via fltk.coredev" Feb 25, 2021  
 
So I was regenerating the docs on a Msys/mingw build, and I noticed something odd.

TBH, I think it has been doing this for ages, but I usually do this from a script so hadn't really been watching...!

Anyway, when generating the docs for Fl_Preferences, in Fl_Preferences.cxx circa line 177 there's this construct:

   The file name is generated in the form <tt>$(path)/$(application).prefs</tt>.

But when doxygen parses this on my build, it is literally expanding $(path) as the $PATH variable from my shell, and $(application) as empty.
The generated docs then have my PATH embedded in the HTML output, which is really not what we want!

I suspect that the construct should really be more like:

   The file name is generated in the form <tt>path/application.prefs</tt>.

(Note that path and application are parameters to the constructor method at that point.)

But I don't really know doxygen well, so I may be talking nonsense here!

What do others see? Thoughts?
