RE: Changing CSS in Doxygen

A.qindex refers only to anchor tags that have "qindex" class attributes, such 
as 

<a href="blah" class="qindex">bogus</a>

Likewise, the A.elRef refers only to anchor tags with the "elRef" class 
attributes.

Search for "class" in your HTML files and you'll start to grasp who gets 
assigned what.

I may not be the best source of information on this particular matter, because 
I generated the doxygen.css once about two years ago, mined it for styles, 
tweaked them, and incorporated them into the CSS that I actually use. I'm also 
stripping out the doxygen navigation that goes across the top of each page and 
uses the qindex stuff. That could be why I don't even have it as a class in my 
CSS. 

Looking at a recent generation of the CSS shows that it has no attributes. 
Hence, it will probably default to the normal attributes assigned for 
hyperlinks (e.g., the default settings of your browser).

You ask are "qindex" and "elRef" documented? They don't need to be IMHO. This 
is standard HTML/CSS stuff, and doxygen uses them pretty consistently in its 
autogeneration. Hence, the true documentation is in an example HTML file.

Something to note. You may want to rename the CSS file that you are modifying 
and then use that name within the project files to define the CSS. That way, 
doxygen won't keep generating a new one over the top of it and trashing your 
tweaks.
