 Status These commands are for indicating that a documented element has some special status. The element could be marked as about to be made obsolete, or that it is provided for compatibility with an earlier version, or is simply not to be included in the public interface. The \since command is for specifying the version number in which a function or class first appeared. The \qmlabstract command is for marking a QML type as an abstract base class. \abstract and \qmlabstract \abstract is a synonym for the \qmlabstract command. Add this command to the \qmltype comment for a QML type when that type is meant to be used only as an abstract base type. When a QML type is abstract, it means that the QML type that can't be instantiated. Instead, the properties in its public API are included in the public properties list on the reference page for each QML type that inherits the abstract QML type. The properties are documented as if they are properties of the inheriting QML type. Normally, when a QML type is marked with \qmlabstract, it is also marked with \internal so that its reference page is not generated. It the abstract QML type is not marked internal, it will have a reference page in the documentation. \compat The \compat command is for indicating that a class or function is part of the support library provided to keep old source code working. The command must stand on its own line. Usually an equivalent function or class is provided as an alternative. If the command is used in the documentation of a class, the command expands to a warning that the referenced class is part of the support library. The warning is located at the top of the documentation page. \beginqdoc
    \class MyQt3SupportClass
    \compat
\endqdoc QDoc renders this at the top of the MyQt3SupportClass class reference page. 
This class is part of the Qt 3 support library. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code. See the Porting Guide for more information.  If the command is used when documenting a function, QDoc will create and link to a separate page documenting Qt 3 support members when generating the reference documentation for the associated class. \beginqdoc
    \fn MyClass8b7c:f320:99b9:690f:4595:cd17:293a:c069MyQt3SupportMemberFunction

    Use MyNewFunction() instead.

    \qmlproperty list<Change> Stat8b7c:f320:99b9:690f:4595:cd17:293a:c069changes
    This property holds the changes to apply for this state.
    \default

    By default these changes are applied against the default state. If the state
    extends another state, then the changes are applied against the state being
    extended.
* / See how QDoc renders this property on the reference page for the State type. \obsolete The \obsolete command is for indicating that a function is being deprecated, and it should no longer be used in new code. There is no guarantee for how long it will remain in the library. The command must stand on its own line. When generating the reference documentation for a class, QDoc will create and link to a separate page documenting its obsolete functions.

    Tries to find the decimal separator. If it can't find

 This function will not be included in the documentation. \preliminary The \preliminary command is for indicating that a referenced function is still under development. The command must stand on its own line. The \preliminary command expands to a notification in the function documentation, and marks the function as preliminary when it appears in lists. / *!
    \preliminary

    Returns information about the joining type attributes of the
    character (needed for certain languages such as Arabic or
    Syriac).
