Can I modify Visual Studio XML comments?

Question

Is it possible to create a set of wiki pages from an XML comment file created by Visual Studio?

I'm talking about something like Sandcastle, but for wiki format instead of compiled CHM.

Edit: I am using MediaWiki, which can import / export articles in XML. Therefore, I hope that you can write a transformation that converts XML comments into XML MediaWiki.

Answer 1

I would recommend a slightly different solution:

• Use the Help Server to publish .CHM / .HxS on the Internet.
• Use special MediaWiki templates to link to a link from a Wiki, for example here .
• Use <see href="..."> to link Wiki pages with XML comments
• See also: FiXml

This is not exactly what you wanted, but I hope it will be useful.

Answer 2

If the above elements are not enough, can you just create your own XSLT to wiki markup of your choice?

You can write a simple application in .NET (or choose your platform) to convert the doc document format to a wiki-XML format. You still have to update the wiki with the output files manually.
