    What is the format of the doc file, how does it look like? Which version of doxygen are you using? Did you have a look a the settings like `FILE_PATTERN`, `EXTENSION_MAPPING`, `INPUT`, `RECURSIVE`? – albert Mar 09 '21 at 08:31
  • The doc file contains plain text without being commented I want to get a html output for that plain text.For that I need to configure doxyfile with input .doc file extension.I have gone through the settings for FILE_PATTERN, EXTENSION_MAPPING,INPUT, RECURSIVE...BUT NOT ABLE to configure the doxyfile for .doc extension.Please help me out. – Jaffer Naveed Mar 10 '21 at 12:37
  • Maybe the following will start you `FILE_PATTERNS += *.doc` `EXTENSION_MAPPING = doc=md` – albert Mar 10 '21 at 13:07
  • It is not necessary to make "comments" out of the test in your .doc file, but you have to set both settings as indicated. Do you get any warnings? Can you see in your console output that the .doc file is mentioned? Which version of doxygen ? – albert Mar 24 '21 at 17:47

I tried the above mentioned to document a doc file but it failed should Is it necessary to comment the contents in doc file to get html output or it's ok if we just parse the file by mentioning FILE_PATTERNS =*.doc

  • Your answer is not an answer but just showing that you have a problem, should be added to the original question (edited in) or added as a comment. – albert Mar 24 '21 at 17:45
  • Which version of Doxygen is the best to get html output for plain text file with .doc extension? – Jaffer Naveed Mar 31 '21 at 14:23
  • The latest doxygen version (and also look at the setting `EXTENSION_MAPPING`) – albert Mar 31 '21 at 14:25
