I personally only use it on very rare occasion, mostly because it's kind<br>
of unwieldy (difficult to navigate, search, etc.). I have hopes that<br>
maybe clang-doc will get to a better place but of course that wouldn't<br>
work on .td files.<br>
<br>
I'm much more likely to just look through comments in code because I'm<br>
already in my editor and it's easy to pull up a file I need. Before<br>
working on a new documentation tool for .td files I'd prefer we just<br>
comment them better.<br>
