hover not parsing comments

[ranjithshegde]

Observed behavior

calling doHover does not parse comment strings or doxygen markers in nvim. This is true for language clients of Coc & builtin nvim-lsp

Expected behavior

this is an output of cland for the same document+word using same language client on nvim

Steps to reproduce

configure ccls for nvim language clients (coc/nvim-lsp), request hover for a variable/function/class/anything

Temporary solution proposal

if this is not a priority, I would request an option in init_options to disable ccls-hover feature so that clangd-lsp can handle it for now

System information

• ccls version (git describe --tags --long):
• clang version: 0.20201219-3
• OS: Arch linux 5.11.4
• Editor: Neovim 0.5
• Language client (and version): Coc-0.0.80; nvim-lsp head- 11a581d

this implemented getComment() (as an ad-hoc Doxygen-formatted text parser)

I will give it a go in the next few days

it seems it parses some doxygen comments, but not all of them...

@ranjithshegde do you have a sample code to test with? a file within a repo? can you point us to the sample code you showed?
