No documentaion for Mono framework classes
Answered
I run Rider 2017.2 on my Mac with Mono Framework. My program compiles and runs without problem, but I can never properly view the documentation of Mono Framework classes. When I press F1(Quick Documentation) I see:
There is no <summary> section, only type signature. How can I set up Mono's documentation for Rider?

Mono doesn't ship with the standard XML documentation files for base class libraries, so Rider doesn't have the documentation to show. Mono ships with its own proprietary documentation format, and there is an outstanding issue to support this in Rider: RIDER-11155
Yeah, I don't get anything either, and searching forums/google doesn't turn up any solutions. Seems kind of a strange thing to be broken/missing in an paid IDE?
Hasn't worked in any version of Rider for me. Here's an example of what's showing up in 2017.3 EAP:
