Doxygen for Zed

A Zed extension that adds syntax highlighting for Doxygen documentation comments in C, C++, and other languages.

Features

  • Syntax highlighting for Doxygen tags (@brief, @param, @return, @see, etc.)
  • Parameter direction keywords (in, out, inout)
  • Code block support (@code / @endcode)
  • Identifier highlighting for referenced parameter names
  • Works automatically inside /** */, /*! */, ///, and //! comment blocks

Installation

  1. Open Zed
  2. Open the Extensions panel (zed: extensions from the command palette)
  3. Search for "Doxygen"
  4. Click Install

How It Works

Doxygen is registered as a hidden, injection-only language. Zed's built-in C and C++ language support already includes injection rules that activate Doxygen highlighting inside documentation comments. This extension provides the tree-sitter grammar and highlight queries that those injections target.

Grammar

Uses tree-sitter-doxygen for parsing.
