I've read What are documentation comments in Xcode? but I tried all these techniques and still can't get XCode 4.6 to show my comments during an option-hover (i.e. hold down alt, move mouse over method name, cursor changes to a ?, click). It says where it's declared, but nothing else. Am I doing something wrong or does XCode just not support doc comments?

Xcode's option-click quick-help feature reads detailed information from installed documentation sets.

To get similar functionality, you would have to create your own documentation set and add it to Xcode under Preferences > Downloads > Documentation.

  • I found this SO question - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6958413/xcode-show-documentation-for-my-custom-classes - and it looks like [appledoc](http://gentlebytes.com/appledoc/) is a good tool for creating a doc set and getting it to reload when needed. – AlexChaffee Feb 05 '13 at 21:23
