Inherited Descriptions

With the AutoDoc feature for inherited description you can automatically copy documentation for class members from inherited symbols. This also works with descriptions in other namespaces, by using the Doc-O-Matic's Namespace features on the [General Settings] > Source Parsing > Namespaces and the [General Settings] > Documentation > Topic Processing page. In this case the time required to process topics might be increased. 

Assume you have the Base::Func function in the Base base class, which is documented, and you override the function as Derived::Func. If you do not write comments for Derived::Func, Doc-O-Matic copies the comment from Base::Func to this function.

Note: Doc-O-Matic copies comments not only for the direct successor but all undocumented successors. If there are multiple inherited descriptions available, the nearest in the hierarchy will be copied.
