This makes Doxygen’s output more actionable by setting QUIET = YES to
suppress verbose progress spew, and WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED = NO to prevent
warnings for undocumented classes and members from being generated. The
latter is too noisy, producing 721 warnings in the current codebase.
The remaining warnings produced by Doxygen were useful and actionable.
They fell into two categories: abuses of Doxygen’s markup syntax, and
missing (or misspelled) parameter documentation. In a small number of
cases, pass-through parameters had intentionally been left undocumented.
In these cases, they are now given blank \param descriptions. This is
not optimal, but there doesn’t appear to be any other way to tell
Doxygen to allow a single parameter to be undocumented.
Some tricky Doxygen errors were resolved by asking it to not enter
directiores that we do not provide documentation in (such as the
“on-platform” compat directories, compat/mac and compat/win, as well as
compat/non_cxx11_lib) while allowing it to enter the
“off-platform” directories that we do document (compat/non_mac and
compat/non_win).
A Doxygen run (doc/support/generate_doxygen.sh) now produces no output
at all. It would produce warnings if any were triggered.
Not directly related, but still relevant to documentation,
doc/support/generate.sh is updated to remove temporary removals of
now-extinct files and directories. doc/appengine/README is updated so
that a consistent path to “goapp” is used throughout the file.

Most of the world, including the Chromium universe, seems to be
standardizing on Markdown for documentation. Markdown provides the
benefit of automatic rendering on Gitiles (Gerrit), and on GitHub
mirrors as well. Crashpad should fit in with its surroundings.
There are two quirks that I was unable to resolve.
- Markdown does not allow **emphasis** within a ```code fence```
region. In blocks showing interactive examples, the AsciiDoc
documentation used this to highlight what the user was expected to
type.
- Markdown does not have a “definition list” (<dl>). This would have
been nice in man pages for the Options and Exit Status sections.
In its place, I used unnumbered lists. This is a little ugly, but
it’s not the end of the world.
The new Markdown-formatted documentation is largely identical to the
AsciiDoc that it replaces. Minor editorial revisions were made.
References to Mac OS X now mention macOS, and tool man pages describing
tools that that access task ports now mention System Integrity
Protection (SIP).
The AppEngine-based https://crashpad.chromium.org/ app in doc/appengine
is still necessary to serve Doxygen-generated documentation. This app is
updated to redirect existing generated-HTML URLs to Gitiles’ automatic
Markdown rendering.
Scripts in doc/support are updated to adapt to this change. All AsciiDoc
support files in doc/support have been removed.
