Normally the URL should be replaced with a link, but if it doesn't you can
just add the html code into your C++ code. Then it depends on where you
want the link. If you want it in the description of a class, function,
variable just put the html code where your description is.
E.g.
file:///C:/Documents and Settings/ame/My Document/MyHtml.html
or
MyHtml
NB! The row may wrap!!
NB!!! Doxygen doesn't handle URL's with spaces in them!!! so the above url
has to be written:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/ame/My%20Documents/MyHtml.html

If you are creating html based documentation, i.e. html, chm, then you can
use CSS to control the look. Use the tag HTML_STYLESHEET in Doxygen
configuration file to point to the CSS stylesheet that should be used.
If HTML_STYLESHEET is blank a default stylesheet is created. It's called
doxygen.css.
If your are creating LaTex or RTF then I don't know, but it sounds
reasonable that it is possible. Let me know if your are using this and I
will look into it a bit further.
If you are creating Man pages. Well, then you're out of luck (.I think and
if I'm wrong then I sure someone will tell me.)

Yes, but it's hard to read documentations ;-)
There are so many possibilities with Doxygen so it's almost impossible to
grasp. The only way I have found is to experiment and try different things
and then for each new thing read the documentation!!
I hope that this will get you going and if you have any more questions just
ask!
