In truth Doc extraction is part of the compiler (see below why), and mbas is 
very late... My fault, I must admit...

The problem is that what you comment in XML is just PART of the 
documentation that is generated. The rest comes from the code itself, and 
VB6 syntax is very different (remember, there is a specific header in vb6 
files, and multiple [specialized] types of files [.FRM, .FRX, .BAS, .CLS, 
...]).

Maybe someone could try to develop something around GnomeBasic, but 
certainly MonoBASIC (mbas) is not heading in that direction.
