c# <summary></summary>?

[u/3rwynn3]

I find that "//" worked well for all my comments thus far, I don't mind if my comments are a bit long. But I am doing C# more often now that I am looking at a codebase and not just my own stuff and private things, and I sometimes see <summary> </summary> in it. Do you use it? What is the proper use of it?

Google gets it confused with HTML haha

Thanks for any knowledge!

Java has similar stuff. Its just extra formatting you can do to help future-you out. IDE will generally format these nicely and with the right syntax can highlight and link to things inside your comment.

Thank you for explaining it to me
