Which C# XML documentation comment tag is used for 'true', 'false' and 'null'?

Question

Which C# XML documentation comment tag is used for the literals true , false and null ?

In Microsoft's own documentation, these literals appear in bold text . For example, the documentation for the property ArrayList.IsFixedSize appears as:

true if the ArrayList has a fixed size; otherwise, false . The default is false .

None of Microsoft's Recommended Tags seem to apply to this situation. The best fit appears to be <c> , however <c>true</c> appears as true when the documentation is rendered by Doxygen .

However, using <b>true</b> with Doxygen yielded bold text as I surmised that it might. But that leaves me wondering about the portability of using standard HTML tags with other documentation generation tools such as Sandcastle and GhostDoc .

Answer 1

您应该使用<see langword="true"/>条目，以便它适用于正在使用的任何语言。

Answer 2

Per GhostDoc's behavior, <c>true</c> is the correct answer. I've voted up saravanan's comment now that I've been able to confirm it.
