I just tried to run this tool, it has successfully created a lot of .md files, until I got this error: System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. 1>C:\Users\User.nuget\packages\defaultdocumentation\0.7.9\build\DefaultDocumentation.targets(38,5): error MSB4018: at System.IO.LongPathHelper.Normalize(String path, UInt32 maxPathLength, Boolean checkInvalidCharacters, Boolean expandShortPaths)

Look at the <DefaultDocumentationFileNameMode> property in the readme. By default the full name of each member is used as file name but this can produce name too long for the os. You have other values possible that shorten the file name.

See #57

Thanks for your quick response Sorry for my lack of knowledge where should I put these settings? In the csproj file? I have tried to add <DefaultDocumentationFileNameMode>Md5</DefaultDocumentationFileNameMode> but no luck so far. the same error happened.
