Hi Atushi,

   Thanks for the pointer. I see that you do handle "/**/", setting
"docAppend = true" and then probably that would invoke consuming.

   I am not sure, but probably, unless you have:

/**
 * <summary>This would be handled</summary>
 */

  it would be discarded.

  Ok. Let me know if I can be of any help.

   Well, that's what I am exactly looking for. My way of handling the
documentation would be to gather the comments as raw elements, and
register any warnings only in the end. (I safely assume that it may
suck! ;-)

   But the philosophy behind the whole is that mcsdoc does not
compile. Nor does it give only xml but full html/chm etc. But yes..
that's in advanced times. It's still in infancy.

  Well, not exactly. Although it may not be trivial, but it's also not
tough. The only issue is that you've already started with the XML-only
stylo. :-D

  My aim with mcsdoc is not to just get xml-style docs but the
javadoc-"@" stylos also. :-) I remember, I wrote in one of my mails a
year back, they are cheaper.

  Do we strike a deal somewhere? :-)


Happy Hacking,
