I am writing the documentation for our companies software developed with vs2012. I need to add xml examples to the summary of each class, due to xml instantiation of objects. We are using sandcastle to create the documentation (company choice), and I want to be able to review my xml comments without building the help file every time. Is there an application that anyone would recommend where I can view how the xml renders before I build the help file? Here is my example:

    /// <summary>
    /// Performs DFT on a data array, writes output in a CSV file.
    /// </summary>
    /// <example>
    /// <para>XML declaration</para>
    ///     <code lang="xml" xml:space="preserve">
    ///      %lt;DataProvider name="DftDP" description="Computes DFT"                

etc... I want to check the XML to make sure it is valid, maybe by copy and pasting it into a tool of some sort?
