10.4 in source XML Documentation change?

[mmb 25]

Just noticed that in 10.4

 

/// Lorem Ipsum....

 

works just as well as

 

/// <summary> Lorem Ipsum.... </summary>

 

This makes in source XML documentation much easier to write. I could not find anything about this in the release notes (or I overlooked). Is this a side effect of the LSP?

It doesn't work for me at all.
No comment are shown

Are there settings for it?

It does work but for some reason not on the symbol where you define it itself. In any case I cannot get it reliably to work except in simple test applications.

 

I tried it in both 10.3 and 10.4. The difference being that in the same project the line without the <summary> tag works in 10.4 but not in 10.3.

Nice find!  This is actually pretty useful and seems to work well on my projects so far.   I wonder if this is "official" (the latest documentation for "XML Documentation Comments" doesn't mention it.)
