How do I add the PROJECT_BRIEF that I defined in the Doxyfile to the LaTeX output? I want it to appear just bellow the project title.

I have tried using

/ref{$projectname}

and

/ref{$projectbrief}

as explained in the doxygen manual, in the LATEX_HEADER section, but it just displays as ??.

In the current version (1.8.13) of doxygen this is not directly possible.

doxygen has the possibility to use a dedicated header, option LATEX_HEADER in the doxygen configuration file. By generating a default header (doxygen -w latex <header> <footer> <stylesheet>), modifying the <header> and using the modified <header> it is possible to accomplish the required functionality.

In the default you will find the line:

{\Large Your title here}\\

replace this with e.g.:

{\Large {$projectname} \\[1ex]\large {$projectnumber} \\[1ex]\large {$projectbrief} }\\

The [1ex] gives some extra vertical spacing between project* items
