Improve readability of javadoc

[raulvaldoleiros]

It would be great if we can read the javado in visual studio editor in an human readable format, instead the code format.

Current Result

Reading documentation in this format is hard.

Expected Result

Having a away to read it in an human readable format, in all objects (files in vscode or referenced through maven or gradel)

Additional Informations

If this already exists, sorry and please let me know.

Much needed

Hi @fbricon , thanks for the suggestion. You are right, but my use case is a little bit different if I got it correctly. I'm opening classes that extends an interface and trying to read the documentation to understand what they do. I'm opening the javadoc web page to read it the documentation and it would be much better in vscode.

I understand, I was merely suggesting a workaround. I know Jetbrains IDEA as a nice way of showing human-readable javadoc instead of raw html. But I'm not sure if VS Code is capable of doing something similar

@testforstephen @aeschli any idea?

Worst case scenario, we could probably add a command to open a javadoc view

Could we collapse/fold the Javadoc node (server-side AST would give us this) and insert the "rendered" Javadoc as a code lens / inlay hint ?

we really need this feature
