XMLdoc Editor
Use the XMLdoc Editor to generate Microsoft XML syntax comments for C#, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and
Slick-C®. Note that by default, when creating a new comment, the Javadoc Editor is displayed for all file
types except C#. To work around this limitation, start an XML comment with “///” and then right-click in the
edit window and select Edit XML Comments.
Unknown XML tags are left “as is” and not removed.
