documentation

I have different plugins in my Web api project with their own XML docs, and have one centralized Help page, but the problem is that Web Api's default Help Page only supports single documentation file new XmlDocumentationProvider(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Documentation.xml")) How is it possible to load config from different files? I wan to do sth like this: new XmlDocumentationProvider("PluginsFolder/*.xml") You can modify the installed XmlDocumentationProvider at Areas\HelpPage to do something like following: Merge multiple Xml document files into a single one: Example

I would like to have a windows API reference document available offline. MSDN is fine, but I also need this kind of information when I don't have access to internet. pdf, chm, help (for emacs) would be fine.

Edit: in addition to general comments, I'm also looking for specific tips. So if you say "short but meaningful variable names", it would be nice to also get a helpful tip as well (e.g. "use the three-word principle"). cletus Check out

This is a pretty straight forward question, but I haven't found anything on Google. I'm looking for documentation on the request parameter in Node.js's create server function, but I haven't been able to find anything. http.createServer(function(request, response){ console.log(JSON.stringify(request)); }); Debugging with JSON.stringify() gives me an error, that the object is circular and the program stops. I've seen different things like request.url , or request.body , but is there a page documenting all of the request functions and parameters? It seems like it should be easy to find, I just
