Doxygen config reformatted for Excel

Apart from the almost 150 markup tags Doxygen 1.1. supports (not to mention HTML tags that are supported also),
the Doxygen config file in version 1.8.8 has over 260 settings, many with complex interrelations.
To facilitate working with so many options, especially when testing. I reformatted the default config file for import into Excel,
where I can more easily sort, search and filter,
and export columns L-R whenever I need to update the doxygen.config file:

Since I have been asked to advertise this:
1. These Speech recognition tools, while an invaluable partial evaluation automation or AI tool, come free with MS-Windows (7 Enterprise/Ultimate, 8 all distributions) – crucial for often resource-strapped language learning environments.
2. The tools do not come with pre-built exercises – a blessing in disguise since this makes them easier to integrate them with your existing textbook-based syllabus. I provide some ideas how you can easily derive speech recognition exercises from your syllabus/textbooks.
I recommend having a look at the entire new issue of FLTMag, the magazine on technology integration in the world language classroom, which
1. examines other software that supports second language learning with video conferencing, support for writing and vocabulary learning (on tablets versus print materials) ,
2. reviews a book on “Ideas for integrating technology in the classroom”
3. and advertises upcoming conferences. Hope to see you there.

Problem: I just notice that a lot of my WordPress OneDrive embeds are broken (not sure since when).
Root cause:
1. Upon comparing the embed URLS in WordPress posts with what embed URLS sharing with OneDrive results in, it appears that the letter case in the embed URLs has been changed to all uppercase, pointing to resources that do not exist (doh!).
2. Not sure who is to blame for altering the case:
  1. WordPress,
  2. OneDrive (note there is also the transition from “skydrive” to “onedrive”),
  3. Windows Live Writer? The latter hardly, since I did not touch these posts.
Solution:
1. Given that, while “cid=” seems all uppercase, “resid=” all lowercase, but “authkey=” is mixed case , there is not easy case change operation you could do locally to restore the original try.
2. So you have to find the original files you embedded (not trivial from the URL which does not contain even a hint of the file name or extension) and re-embed it through sharing with OneDrive.

Based on this Dataset from the World Bank, a bit more recent than the Wikipedia Chart currently.
