-  \brief Class creaMessageManager and Macros for outputing messages in crea\r
-\r
-  There are 4 kinds of messages :\r
-  - Messages (normal messages)\r
-  - Debug messages (not compiled in release)\r
-  - Warnings \r
-  - Errors\r
-  There are also "types" of messages which are strings which identify the nature of the message \r
-  (for example : "Kernel" messages are generated by the core classes of the library, there can be a type of \r
-  message for each type of Node, and so on...)\r
-  A type of message must be declared by registering it into the MessageManager. This is done by a line like :\r
-  crea::MessageManager::RegisterMessageType("Kernel","Messages generated by the core classes of the library",5);\r
-  where : \r
-  -The first string is the type of the message (the category which will be used to generate a message of this type)\r
-  -The second string is help string\r
-  -The integer is the initial level for the messages of this type (see below).\r
-  \r
-  To generate a message of a known type then use one of the macros :\r
-  creaMessage, creaDebugMessage, creaWarning, creaError or their variants.\r
-\r
-  example :\r
-\r
-  creaMessage("Kernel",4,"problem with "<<GetName()<<creaendl);\r
-\r
-  will push the 3rd argument in std::cout if the message level of "Kernel" messages is greater or equal to 4.\r
-  which means that it generates a message of level 4 (0 : very important/always displayed ... 9 : deep debug message).\r
-\r
-  At run time, one is able to change the level of the messages displayed by using a command like :\r
-  \r
-  crea::MessageManager::SetMessageLevel("Kernel",5); \r
-  \r
-  which tells the manager to display all Kernel messages of level up to 5.\r
-\r
-  Variants :\r
-\r
-  crea*Cont : continues a previous creaMessage on the same line (without rewriting the type and level)\r
-  crea*Inc / Dec : displays the message and then increments/decrement the messages tabulation \r

+  There are 4 kinds of messages :
+  - Messages (normal messages)
+  - Debug messages (not compiled in release)
+  - Warnings 
+  - Errors
+  There are also "types" of messages which are strings which identify the nature of the message 
+  (for example : "Kernel" messages are generated by the core classes of the library, there can be a type of 
+  message for each type of Node, and so on...)
+  A type of message must be declared by registering it into the MessageManager. This is done by a line like :
+  crea::MessageManager::RegisterMessageType("Kernel","Messages generated by the core classes of the library",5);
+  where : 
+  -The first string is the type of the message (the category which will be used to generate a message of this type)
+  -The second string is help string
+  -The integer is the initial level for the messages of this type (see below).
+  To generate a message of a known type then use one of the macros :
+  creaMessage, creaDebugMessage, creaWarning, creaError or their variants.
+  example :
+  creaMessage("Kernel",4,"problem with "<<GetName()<<creaendl);
+  will push the 3rd argument in std::cout if the message level of "Kernel" messages is greater or equal to 4.
+  which means that it generates a message of level 4 (0 : very important/always displayed ... 9 : deep debug message).
+  At run time, one is able to change the level of the messages displayed by using a command like :
+  crea::MessageManager::SetMessageLevel("Kernel",5); 
+  which tells the manager to display all Kernel messages of level up to 5.
+  Variants :
+  crea*Cont : continues a previous creaMessage on the same line (without rewriting the type and level)
+  crea*Inc / Dec : displays the message and then increments/decrement the messages tabulation
