Is there a way to eliminate single-line breaks from doc comments?

[madelson]

When writing C# doc comments, I manually wrap text to keep lines from getting too long (e.g. this file). However, this wrapping is preserved in the output markdown files, which looks a bit awkward.

Any thoughts on how to improve the formatting? Ideally for me the tool would retain paragraph breaks but not retain line breaks except in <code> blocks.

There's a setting just for that :) You can also locally change this settings in your xml elements by setting a ignorelinebreak attribute in your documentation <summary ignorelinebreak="true">

Perfect. I figured I was missing something. Updated doc looks great now. Any reason this isn't the default?

[Doraku]

Because I am lazy mainly haha, that's how I write my xml documentation even if I know it's not the proper way (as the intellisence display in visual ignores the line breaks), sorry ^^"

[madelson]

@Doraku haha ok. In that case would you be supportive of enabling this by default? My guess is that most people would want it, especially since as you say VS ignores these breaks anyway.

Yeah even if it is a "breaking change" it shouldn't affect most people and it's better to be in line with how the intellisense behave.
