title: Doxygen doesn't appear to recognise comments (Doxywizard)
body: <p>I am sure this is something silly I've done but I can't see what it is:</p>
  
  <p>So I have c++ project which has a main.cpp file and some classes. It was not written with doxygen in mind (error #1) but I'm looking to correct my mistake and generate some documentation. So I installed doxygen and ran the doxygen GUI, entered the project name/synopsis and specified the source and destination locations. </p>
  
  <p>Also to get some output above a function I added a comment in the style the doxygen spec requires:</p>
  
  <pre><code>//! My actual function doesn't really look like this
  /*! 
   *  Some sample detail which isn't exactly the same as the main
   *  function but the structure is the same
   */
  void sampleFunction()
  {
      doSomethingUninteresting();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However when I hit run in doxywizard no extra comments are made.</p>
  
  <p>If I set the extraction mode to documented entities only main.cpp doesn't even show up. If I set it to all entities main.cpp appears under files and the function is in there however there is no detail whatsoever in the file.</p>
  
  <p>As a complete novice trying to retrofit my project no doubt I've omitted to do something important but all the documentation/tutorials I've read don't suggest anything other than what I've stated needs to be done so I turn to the knowledgeable SO community for assistance </p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>In response to the comment by Arne Mertz here are a few more details:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Doxywizard is in Program Files/doxygen/bin and the config file is wherever doxywizard creates it by default</p></li>
  <li><p>My source code is in User/Desktop/</p></li>
  <li><p>The output folder is in User/Desktop/Documentation</p></li>
  </ul>
