"Show Comments" in the VA Outline has some problems with .NET style comments.

this
/// <summary>
/// A function
/// </summary>
/// <param name="p1">some parameter</param>
/// <param name="p2">another one</param>
/// <returns>void</returns>


Turns into:
// <summary> / A function / </summary> / <param name="p1">some parameter</param> / <param name="p2">another one</param> / <returns>void</returns>

I agree this is not very attractive, but short of parsing the comment I am not sure what we could do.

The problem with parsing the comment is what do we show? Also it opens the door to people asking VA to parse any structured comment, which once you look at C++ and Doxygen is not something we really want to get into.

True, but where do the single slashes come from? I guess VA simply removes // (double slashes) from the comments before concatenating. So it could maybe watch out for triple slashes and xml comments and strip them away?

A very good point, I have put in a bug report for the single slashes being left over:
