• Kevin made uSync triggers : https://github.com/KevinJump/uSyncTriggers
• and Matt released (but forgot to mention) the Vendr lite licence model: https://vendr.net/vendr-lite/

• mkdocs  : https://www.mkdocs.org/
• readthedocs : https://readthedocs.org/
• docusaurus : https://docusaurus.io/

The tool Matt is using to build his reference docs (with some custom code)  is Mono.Cecil : 

• https://www.mono-project.com/docs/tools+libraries/libraries/Mono.Cecil/

Kevin was showing his age,when he was talking about ndocs (& he said ngdocs) which is dead but sorely missed documentation generator for visual studio xml doc files. 

• http://ndoc.sourceforge.net/
• Sandcaslte is the Microsoft  project that replaced it, and if we are honest Kevin hasn't forgiven them yet to be able to objectively tell you if its any good.

The command switch  /doc to turn on documentation was once again Kevin showing his age - this use to be a switch (or something like it), now it is automatically added when you tick XML Documentation file in your project configuration
