-* Class Library Documentation
-
-** Summary
-
- While using inline XML tags to document classes is certainly
- convenient, properly verbose documentation quickly overwhelms
- the code, making the source quite difficult to read. Furthermore,
- multilingual documentation makes for significant additional text.
-
- With these considerations in mind, Mono is using external XML files
- for class documentation, rather than documenting the source
- inline. The XML file format used is inspired by the XML format used
- to document the ECMA APIs.
-
- Several tools exist for managing, verifying, generating,
- and updating class library documentation.
-
- The documentation infrastructure is part of the `Monodoc'
- module. Monodoc includes a graphical GUI browser and tools to
- generate the initial stubbed XML document out of an assembly.
-
- Download `monodoc' to start producing documentation for your
- application.
-
- For instructions, read the monodoc/README file.

-** Documentation Tools
-
-*** <a name="monodoc">MonoDoc</a>
-
- The MonoDoc system offers both a GUI client as well as a <a
- href="http://www.go-mono.com:8080">Web-based interface</a> to
- the documentation.
-
- The GUI edition uses <a
- href="http://gtk-sharp.sf.net">Gtk#</a> and the Web edition
- uses Mono's ASP.NET implementation.

- Monodoc today also supports a GUI-based collaborative editing
- system. You can now edit the documentation from the MonoDoc
- Browser and upload your contributions directly to the Mono site.
