Given the fact that Kevin is working on a command-line utility to convert MonoDoc->MS-XML, I consider that it will be a waste of effort if I start coding such a tool from scratch. So in my opinion the best thing to do now is just wait untill Kevin finishes its work.
Do you agree?

Subject: RE: [Mono-docs-list] Translator from monodoc XML format to Microsoft XML format

At present, all I'm doing is knocking together a quick command-line utility to convert MonoDoc->MS-XML. Eventually this will be rolled into Ndoc core; MonoDocs will become a 'native' format and users will be able to freely mix whichever format they have at hand :)
There are some complications. The most notable is that MS-XML covers a whole
assembly in one file whereas (from what I've seen) MonoDocs are split by
Type.
The MonoDoc format is less complex than the NDoc internal XML, so creating a
MonoDoc documenter should not be a major issue. The only part that would be
complex is the ILASM and C# signatures; This is one of the most complex
parts in the current documenters' xslt - for the next major release I am
looking to provide a much cleaner mechanism.
regards, Kevin
