How to convert the C# XML documentation generated by the compiler to some more readable format? like HTML

I get a custom c# library today with a .dll file and a xml documentation. the xml documentation looks like generated by the compiler with the format like

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc>
    <assembly>
        <name>some_name_here</name>
    </assembly>
    <members>
        <member name="T:some_name_here">
...

Is there any convenient way to covert to file to something more readable, like html? Thank you.

The canonical way is to write an XSLT transform that will generate HTML directly from the XML.

I would suggest running it through the Sandcastle Help File Builder, which can convert your XML documentation into an HTML Help 1 (.chm) file or a website of HTML pages (among other formats).
