Description

In VS 2015, the `para` tags where still parsed:

In VS 2017, they were gone (but more colorful):

And the didn't return in VS 2019 either:

I'd love to have them back :100:, preferably with support for some of the XML comments features. And if I'd know where this parsing is done I might tackle this myself.
