No (and i don't think, it will be able to in future even if it would be
doable), because it is in syntax more like javadoc or doc++ (but far more
powerful).

Also i'm not very happy with RD, because you habe much information doubled
(i.e. you need to explizitly write class names, method names and the like),
which is not neccessary with tools like javadoc or doxygen, because they not
only parse their comments but also parse the program-code an extract
information from that.

As far as i know, for doxygen is planned to have an Intermediate Language like
XML to interanally represent the parsed files which than could be put in some
post-processors (more or less integrated with doxygen).
