Unfortunately, I can't help much here.

Doxygen tags are highlighted as they should when they are in a C or C++ source 
file but things are different in a *.dox file.

A doxygen tag is assigned a style that's not available in the color scheme 
list.

On the other side, a doxygen comment follows the color scheme of a regular 
comment and a regular C comment is not highlighted at all. It's as expected.

Kate is displaying everything correctly in a dox file. So I guess it is a 
problem with the way the highlighting rules are mapped to the color scheme in 
Qt Creator. I don't know how it works.
