/*! \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 D of the
<a href="https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-334/">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 \ref cmdcode "\\code" ... \ref cmdendcode "\\endcode"
                       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>\<inheritdoc\></tt> Can be used to insert the documentation of a 
                         member of a base class into the documentation of a 
                         member of a derived class that reimplements it.
<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> and <tt>table</tt>. 
                         A list consists of a number of <tt>\<item\></tt> tags.
                         A list of type table, is a two column table which can have
                         a header.
<li><tt>\<listheader\></tt>   Starts the header of a list of type "table".
<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 doxygen.
<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>\<term\></tt>    Part of a <tt>\<list\></tt> command.
<li><tt>\<typeparam name="paramName"\></tt> Marks a piece of text as the documentation
                         for type parameter "paramName". Similar to 
                         using \ref cmdparam "\\param".
<li><tt>\<typeparamref name="paramName"\></tt> Refers to a parameter with name
                         "paramName". Similar to using \ref cmda "\\a".
<li><tt>\<value\></tt>   Identifies a property. Ignored by doxygen.
<li><tt>\<![CDATA[...]]\></tt> The text inside this tag (on the ...) is  handled as normal
                         doxygen comment except for the XML special characters `<`, `>` and
                         `&` that are used as if they were escaped.
</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
