Documentation tools for VS2015?

I'd like to get better at documenting my code. Can anyone suggest a good free or cheap solution for this.

I've read about Doxygen, but DoxygenComments  isn't maintained or supported with VS2015.

There's Atomineer  but it's $60 which is too steep for me right now.

Any other suggestions?

Not sure but worth looking at the standard xml documentation facility in visual studio

I've added some /// comments in my code to document the classes, but the XML file is not being generated
Adding the /doc flag to the 'extra flags' results in following build error
arm-none-eabi-g++*: error: \doc: no such file or directory

What else is needed in Visual Micro project settings, to generate the XML ?

The build system is arduino/GCC and not Microsoft C++. the gcc system does not support xml output 

You will need to look at the various tools available from third parties. These are available in the microsoft visual studio gallery. I haven't tried them sorry.

Ok, thanks.

I can't find any extensions to generate the documentation from the source-code itself (as this is normally done with the VS compiler, this makes sense)
I can see many plugins to insert triple-slash comments into the source code..

I installed doxygen, which does generate documentation outside of Visual Studio

thanks for your support.
