Doxygen comments
-----------------
Coding Style (Python)
---------------------
To facilitate the generation of documentation, use doxygen-compatible comment blocks for functions, methods and fields.
Refer to [/test/functional/README.md#style-guidelines](/test/functional/README.md#style-guidelines).
Coding Style (Doxygen-compatible comments)
------------------------------------------
Bitcoin Core uses [Doxygen](http://www.doxygen.nl/) to generate its official documentation.
Use Doxygen-compatible comment blocks for functions, methods, and fields.
For example, to describe a function use:

Documentation can be generated with `make docs` and cleaned up with `make clean-docs`.
Documentation can be generated with `make docs` and cleaned up with `make clean-docs`. The resulting files are located in `doc/doxygen/html`; open `index.html` to view the homepage.
Coding Style (Python)
---------------------
Refer to [/test/functional/README.md#style-guidelines](/test/functional/README.md#style-guidelines).
Before running `make docs`, you will need to install dependencies `doxygen` and `dot`. For example, on MacOS via Homebrew:
```
brew install doxygen --with-graphviz
```
