As stated here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707567
there is a regression bug in doxygen 1.8.5 concerning the processing of code blocks in documentation.

It should be fixed already in newer versions of doxygen.


Issue details:
--------------
For a code snippet like:

/**
 * Functor to delete objects pointed by a container of pointers.
 *
 * A typical usage might be like:
 * @code
 * list<Object*> l;
 * ...
 * for_each(l.begin(), l.end(), delete_object());
 * @endcode
 */
struct delete_object
{
    template <typename _Tp>
    void operator()(_Tp* pointer) const
    {
        delete pointer;
    }
};

Previously (at least up to 1.8.0) Doxygen was able to generate the correct HTML/LaTeX output like:

 list<Object*> l;
 ...
 for_each(l.begin(), l.end(), delete_object());

1.8.5 generates:

* list<Object*> l;
* ...
* for_each(l.begin(), l.end(), delete_object());
*

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Generate doxygen documentation with a code block as shown in the details above.

Actual Results:  
The output includes asterisks as shown in the details above.



An updated version of doxygen should have a fix for this already.
