<list> (C# Programming Guide)

<list type="bullet" | "number" | "table">
    <listheader>
        <term>term</term>
        <description>description</description>
    </listheader>
    <item>
        <term>term</term>
        <description>description</description>
    </item>
</list>

Parameters

term: A term to define, which will be defined in description.
description: Either an item in a bullet or numbered list or the definition of a term.

Remarks

The <listheader> block is used to define the heading row of either a table or definition list. When defining a table, you only need to supply an entry for term in the heading.

Each item in the list is specified with an <item> block. When creating a definition list, you will need to specify both term and description. However, for a table, bulleted list, or numbered list, you only need to supply an entry for description.

A list or table can have as many <item> blocks as needed.

Compile with /doc to process documentation comments to a file.

Example

// compile with: /doc:DocFileName.xml 

/// text for class TestClass
public class TestClass
{
    /// <summary>Here is an example of a bulleted list:
    /// <list type="bullet">
    /// <item>
    /// <description>Item 1.</description>
    /// </item>
    /// <item>
    /// <description>Item 2.</description>
    /// </item>
    /// </list>
    /// </summary>
    static void Main()
    {
    }
}
