[Libreoffice] [PATCH] [PUSHED, partial] Some comments and basic cleanup in sc

Hi

Thanks for pushing 0002 and 0004.

In the doxygen documentation on
http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/docblocks.html in the section
"Putting documentation after members" I understand it as if the "<" is
necessary to tell doxygen that the comment relates to the statement
before (i.e. to the left of) the comment, instead of the statement
after (i.e. in the next line), so for instance:

int foo; /**< counting foos */
int bar;

Here doxygen relates "counting foos" as a describtion of the variable
foo, while in

int foo; /** counting foos */
int bar;

doxygen would understand "counting foo" as a describtion of the
variable bar, which would be wrong (same way for ///< resp. ///), did
I miss something?

I used ".\ " not for whitespace size but because it according to the
doxygen manual at http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/docblocks.html
avoids breaking the short description at the ".". Although this only
holds if we use doxygen with JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF enabled, if not the
brief description should be given in another way. So which short
description type, do we use in Libre Office? (Maybe we should figure
out and announce an offical convention how (and with which parameters)
to use doxygen in LibO and put it on the wiki.)

Best Regards
Sören
