The <inheritdoc/> XML comments tag allows documentation to be inherited from base types/members, which reduces the effort required to write documentation. However, some tools don't support this feature. InheritdocInliner is a command-line tool that postprocesses XML files and replaces <inheritdoc/> elements with actual comments.
