Doxygen - Objective-C - Document Private Class functions Private

Question

In doxygen, I can create objective-c categories inside my implementation file to hide interfaces that shouldn't be accessed publicly. However, doxygen still documents the category as the members being "public". Even by adding the \protected or \private, this is still the case.

Is there another method that I'm overlooking that would put this in a "Private Methods" section of that category...or better yet in the same document that the public class is in only listed as private?

Here's part of my config:

Answer 1

Have you tried \internal in code, coupled with INTERNAL_DOCS = NO in Doxyfile?

Another way to put some part of the code out of doxygen scope is to use \cond and \endcond commands.
