One thing I've found is that the IDE doesn't like it when you use HTML tags like <br> that don't have a closing tag. In certain situations, especially mixing sections using <para> with sections that have no enclosing <para> tags, the IDE seems to get confused and just quietly abort the generation of XML documentation for the element in question. As a troubleshooting step, try removing all extra tags, leaving just the <summary> tags and the text, then adding things back. Just a thought-- I don't even know if you have lots of extra stuff in there or not.
