Reformat XML Doc Comments
ReSharper can reformat XML documentation comments according to your preferences.
Note that ReSharper does not reformat plain comments like:
// A plain single-line comment
or
/* A plain multi-line comment */
To reformat XML doc comments, use code cleanup. You can either run code cleanup with the default profile Default: Full Cleanup or run it with a custom profile solely targeted at your specific task.
Reformat XML doc comments with a custom Code Cleanup profile
Select from the main menu or press Alt+R O.
On the page, configure formatting settings so that they comply with your coding practices or standards.
Go to the Code Cleanup settings page: .
Create a new profile as described in the Create a new custom cleanup profile section. In the Selected profile settings section for the new profile, select the Reformat embedded XML doc comments check boxes, which are available for C#, VB.NET, and JavaScript. Optionally, you can enable other code cleanup tasks in this profile.
Click Save to apply the modifications and let ReSharper choose where to save them, or save the modifications to a specific settings layer using the Save To list. For more information, see Manage and Share ReSharper Settings.
Select the scope where you want to reformat XML doc comments:
Set the caret anywhere in the file to reformat XML doc comments to the file.
Select one or more items in the Solution Explorer to reformat XML doc comments in the files under these nodes and their child items.
Do one of the following:
Press Control+Alt+F or choose from the main menu .
Right-click anywhere in the text editor or right-click the selection and choose Cleanup Code in the context menu.
In the Code Cleanup dialog that opens, select the newly created profile.
Click Run. ReSharper will reformat XML doc comments in the selected scope.
If you want to reformat XML doc comments without opening the Code Cleanup dialog, you can bind the created profile to the silent cleanup and run it by pressing Control+Shift+Alt+F. You can also create a custom cleanup profile that would combine reformatting XML doc comments with other code style tasks.
