-This [MSBuild Task]( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuild-tasks) automatically replaces `<inheritdoc />` tags in your .NET XML documentation with the actual inherited docs.  By integrating with MSBuild, this tool has access to the exact arguments passed to the compiler -- including all assembly references -- making it both simpler and more capable than other documentation post-processing tools.  As it processes `<inheritdoc />` elements, it is able to accurately resolve base types whether they come from the target framework, referenced NuGet packages, or project references.  This allows intelligent mapping of documentation from base types and members to yours.  For example, it can identify when you change the name of a method parameter from the base type’s definition and update the documentation accordingly.  It can also remove documentation for non-public types/members to reduce the size of your published XML docs.
