Automating ASP MVC.NET Web api documentation on the /Help page <p>I've been following the instructions that talk about creating help pages for the Web API, one example being <a href="http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/creating-api-help-pages" rel="nofollow">http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/creating-api-help-pages</a></p> <p>I know that to get descriptions for REST paths, you place these xml comments above the respective methods.</p> <pre><code>/// &lt;summary&gt; /// Looks up some data by ID. /// &lt;/summary&gt; /// &lt;param name="id"&gt;The ID of the data.&lt;/param&gt; </code></pre> <p>But say I have many paths or many Web API projects and I want to make this process a little faster. Where could I start if I wanted even simple 1 sentence descriptions to be automated. I would be ok, with simple description, maybe pulled from the name or convention of the method name and a mention of the parameter types that it expect. Just very simple stuff to build off of.</p> <p>I was thinking initially that this automation project would reside in the same solution as the Web API that you're targeting, it would just be another separate project. Thanks.</p>
