+/*! \page xmlcmds XML Commands
+
+Doxygen supports most of the XML commands that are typically used in C#
+code comments. The XML tags are defined in Appendix E of the
+<a href="http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-334.htm">ECMA-334</a>
+standard, which defines the C# language. Unfortunately, the specification is
+not very precise and a number of the examples given are of poor quality.
+
+Here is the list of tags supported by doxygen:
+
+<ul>
+<li><tt>\<c\></tt> Identifies inline text that should be rendered as a
+ piece of code. Similar to using <tt>\<tt\></tt>text<tt>\</tt\></tt>.
+<li><tt>\<code\></tt> Set one or more lines of source code or program output.
+ Note that this command behaves like <tt>\\code ... \\endcode</tt>
+ for C# code, but it behaves like the HTML equivalent
+ <tt>\<code\>...\</code\></tt> for other languages.
+<li><tt>\<description\></tt> Part of a <tt>\<list\></tt> command, describes an item.
+<li><tt>\<example\></tt> Marks a block of text as an example, ignored by doxygen.
+<li><tt>\<exception cref="member"\></tt> Identifies the exception a
+ method can throw.
+<li><tt>\<include\></tt> Can be used to import a piece of XML from an external
+ file. Ignored by doxygen at the moment.
+<li><tt>\<item\></tt> List item. Can only be used inside a <tt>\<list\></tt> context.
+<li><tt>\<list type="type"\></tt> Starts a list, supported types are <tt>bullet</tt>
+ or <tt>number</tt>. A list consists of a number of <tt>\<item\></tt> tags.
+<li><tt>\<para\></tt> Identifies a paragraph of text.
+<li><tt>\<param name="paramName"\></tt> Marks a piece of text as the documentation
+ for parameter "paramName". Similar to
+ using \ref cmdparam "\\param".
+<li><tt>\<paramref name="paramName"\></tt> Refers to a parameter with name
+ "paramName". Similar to using \ref cmda "\\a".
+<li><tt>\<permission\></tt> Identifies the security accessibility of a member.
+ Ignored by doygen.
+<li><tt>\<remarks\></tt> Identifies the detailed description.
+<li><tt>\<returns\></tt> Marks a piece of text as the return value of a
+ function or method. Similar to using \ref cmdreturn "\\return".
+<li><tt>\<see cref="member"\></tt> Refers to a member. Similar to \ref cmdref "\\ref".
+<li><tt>\<seealso cref="member"\></tt> Starts a "See also" section referring
+ to "member". Similar to using \ref cmdsa "\\sa" member.
+<li><tt>\<summary\></tt> Identifies the brief description.
+ Similar to using \ref cmdbrief "\\brief".
+<li><tt>\<value\></tt> Identifies a property. Ignored by doxygen.
+</ul>
+
+Here is an example of a typical piece of code using some of the above commands:
+
+\code
+/// <summary>
+/// A search engine.
+/// </summary>
+class Engine
+{
+ /// <summary>
+ /// The Search method takes a series of parameters to specify the search criterion
+ /// and returns a dataset containing the result set.
+ /// </summary>
+ /// <param name="connectionString">the connection string to connect to the
+ /// database holding the content to search</param>
+ /// <param name="maxRows">The maximum number of rows to
+ /// return in the result set</param>
+ /// <param name="searchString">The text that we are searching for</param>
+ /// <returns>A DataSet instance containing the matching rows. It contains a maximum
+ /// number of rows specified by the maxRows parameter</returns>
+ public DataSet Search(string connectionString, int maxRows, int searchString)
+ {
+ DataSet ds = new DataSet();
+ return ds;
+ }
+}
+\endcode
