One of the most tedious tasks of generating a good CHM file is adding code samples, formatted text etc to the remarks section. Basically you have to write a bunch of HTML, and escape all reserved XML characters.
So the idea is to provide a simple rich text editor popup where you can create and edit your remarks WYSIWYG style, and let GhostDoc worry about the XHTML encoding. |

Yes, this is something I have thought about myself a couple of times; I agree with you that editing the X(HT)ML as plain text isn't funny.
On the other hand, from what I have seen at PDC for Visual Studio 2010, it's a good idea to wait with the implementation of an WYSIWIG editor. The new (WPF-based) source code editor will allow a lot of customizations that would make an integrated editor for comments possible - and I could imagine that somebody else (with much more time at his/her hands than me) could start this as a programming project as soon as the Visual Studio CTPs become more stable.

Oh yeah you're right. That feature was really cool. Didn't even think of using it for this. Should have known you were at the PDC too. Would have bought you beer for creating this awesome time saver.  |
