ASP.NET Core Web Api automatic help pages

Question

In previous versions of ASP.NET, when I created Web Api 2, visual studio automatically wired up automatic generation of documentation for the API.

It's also explained here: http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/creating-api-help-pages

I'm writing a new project and I've decided to do it with ASP.NET Core, but I don't see anything similar to what existed in the previous versions that generates the documentation from the API (I'm also guessing that's its a bit different since all controllers now inherit from the same Controller class).

But, is there some way to have help files generated for ASP.NET Core APIs?
