+ Markdown can be used for formatting text. Doxygen is configured to
+ support this, and it is a good compromise between readable comments
+ in the C++ source and nice formatting in the generated HTML.
+ Please format the names of function parameters in either code font
+ or italics. Use underscores or @e for emphasis when necessary.
+ Use backticks or @c to refer to other standard names.
(Examples of all these abound in the present code.)
