Sorry the text got garbled in the original example. Let me try again.
This is what I want:

class Test
{
public:
/************************************************//**
* @brief
* This is the class constructor
****************************************************/
Test() { }

/************************************************//**
* @brief
* This is the class destructor
****************************************************/
~Test() { }
};

And this is what I get:

class Test
{
public:
/************************************************//**
* @brief
* This is the class constructor
****************************************************/
Test() { }

/************************************************//**
* @brief
* This is the class destructor
****************************************************/
~Test() { }
};
