What are the C# documentation tags? [closed]

Question

In C# documentation tags allow you to produce output similar to MSDN. What are a list of allowable tags for use inside the /// (triple slash) comment area above classes, methods, and properties?

Here's a list:

• summary
• param
• returns
• example
• code

• seealso
• list
