Changing the Symbol Structure

Doc-O-Matic automatically creates a hierarchical structure of your source code symbols and groups symbols in folders in the Content Manager. A symbol reference folder is the root folder for all symbols by default. There are several ways to show your symbols in the Content Manager.

In the Content Manager you can do the following:

Divide the hierarchy into several parts by creating modules.
Show all symbols in a namespace as subtopics of the namespace topic by using namespace information.
Sort symbols in namespaces and modules in folders.
Create additional subfolders for class members and methods such as folders for data members.
Add member overview pages.
Sort class members in visibility folders such as private and public.
Sort symbols alphabetically or by code position.
Create folders for overloaded member functions.

To sort symbols

You can sort all symbols on the top level and all class members in the Advanced Symbol Hierarchy Options dialog box.

To open the dialog, click Members Folders on the Manage tab in the Folders group.
Point to More Options.

To sort selected topics

You can individually sort all subtopics of a selected topic and all topic on the same level as the selected topic.
In the hierarchy, select a topic.
Right-click, and then point to Contents Design.
Make sure Design or TOC lock is selected.
Select Sort Ascending, to sort all subtopic by title in ascending order.
Select Sort Descending, to sort all subtopics by title in descending order.
Select Custom Sort, to change the default sort options.
