+
+@anchor Scope
+
+A virtual scope can be represented by an instance of class orxonox::Scope. orxonox::Scope<@a scope> is a template
+an its template argument defines the name of the virtual scope. See orxonox::ScopeID for an enumeration of the
+available values for @a scope. The orxonox::Scope object for a given @a scope can be activated or deactivated.
+Instances of orxonox::ScopeListener can register for a given @a scope and will get a notification if the
+corresponding orxonox::Scope object changes its state.
+
+To avoid multiple instances of orxonox::Scope<@a scope> in different libraries, each instance of orxonox::Scope
+registers in orxonox::ScopeManager, where they are linked statically in the core library.
+
+Scopes are usually used to control the creation and destruction of Singletons.

-A virtual scope can be represented by an instance of class orxonox::Scope. orxonox::Scope<@a scope> is a template
-an its template argument defines the name of the virtual scope. See orxonox::ScopeID for an enumeration of the
-available values for @a scope. The orxonox::Scope object for a given @a scope can be activated or deactivated.
-Instances of orxonox::ScopeListener can register for a given @a scope and will get a notification if the
-corresponding orxonox::Scope object changes its state.
-
-To avoid multiple instances of orxonox::Scope<@a scope> in different libraries, each instance of orxonox::Scope
-registers in orxonox::ScopeManager, where they are linked statically in the util library.
-
-Scopes are usually used to control the creation and destruction of Singletons.

-
-    ScopedSingletonManager is used to create and destroy Singletons that belong to
-    a given Scope. For each one of these singletons, the macro ManageScopedSingleton()
-    has to be called to register the singleton with orxonox::ScopedSingletonManager.
