- fix problems at least with Roslyn compiler and VS IntelliSense or the Object Browser
- `<see langref="keyword"/>` generates nothing
- `<example>` at top level (outside `<summary>`) generates nothing
- curly braces don't become angle brackets outside `<see cref="reference"/>` references
- yeah, a point @yishaigalatzer asked about in a previous PR
- `<see href="reference"/>` is not valid
- correct some invalid use of angle brackets and remove useless empty elements
- correct unresolved XML comment references; generally, add namespace prefix
Symptoms for some of the above issues included
- generated XML comments such as `<!-- Badly formed XML comment ... -->`, usually indicating an unclosed element
- generated XML attributes such as `cref="!:..."`, indicating a broken reference
- in a couple of cases we had `<typeparamref cref="TOption"/>`; attribute should be `"name"`
Few wording changes beyond
- `"opening </form> tag"` -> `"<form> start tag"`
- `"closing </form> tag"` -> `"</form> end tag"`
Also correct two typos in `HtmlHelper`
Will create a unit test to ensure XML syntax doesn't degrade going forward. Separate PR.
- for now, check using `dir -r *.xml | sls '!'`
RazorTextWriter represents the result of rendering a page as a sequence of
strings rather than a concatenated string. This avoids building up large
strings in memory.
https://roslyn.codeplex.com/workitem/246 affects usage of code with the
latest build of Roslyn with Moq v4.2. The workaround involves ensuring a
closure is created. Updating affected tests to make ToString() calls on
local variables to create these closures.
- see line 2 of #874
- focus on `TextBox[For]()` and `ValidationSummary()`
related fixes included here:
- `TextArea[For]()` documentation incorrectly indicated their `htmlAttributes` parameters were dictionaries
- handle `htmlAttributes` parameters more consistently; create a dictionary only when necessary
- no need to call (`internal`) `html.GenerateId()` method since it matches `html.Id()` exactly
- no need for `.ToString()` with either method since they return `string` now
- fixes#566 and part of #847
- allows compositions such as `@Html.Label("property", Html.Id("property"))`
and `@Html.Raw(Html.DisplayText("property"))` (this one is not recommended)
- adjust XML comments to match
- add missing XML comments to `HtmlHelperValueExtensions`
- nit: `TInnerModel` -> `TModelItem`
- increase XML comment consistency for changed methods
- generally make wording more consistent e.g. how we use words such as
"returns"
- use `<see langref="string|true|false|null"/>` more
