To Michael_590...
This is not an answer to your direct problem, but rather to clearify some misunderstanding.
I have used the doxygen program some years ago to document C/C++/Qt code in place, i.e. in the C/C++/Qt source files.
doxygen runs on all specified source files (requires a configuration file) and then produces html and (if configured) a LaTeX refman.tex file, containing the code documentation, the later one is designed to generate a pdf file from it.
doxygen uses a LaTeX code-generator for this task. The developer of doxygen has written a doxygen.sty file to make this easier, but exactly this doxygen.sty file is not designed to be used in LaTeX files written directly by you.
I would say, there are definitely other possibilities to make a description list as you have in your code.
