Create "Quick Help" Entry in Xcode

Question

How do I create quick help entries in Xcode for my own code? I just want it as a coding support, meaning like the Eclipse functionality when coding Java. In eclipse you get a comment you entered above a method when hovering a method somewhere else.

The Xcode equivalent seems to be the "Quick Help".

Is there really no other way than using Doxygen? Doxygen seems like overkill for the small project I'm working on. At the moment I do know for sure that I only want the quick help populated thoroughly, so please avoid any hints like, "you have to create a documentation for your project".

I would really appreciate any help as the only thing I could find on this topic was this question.

But as you can see, no solution is available.

Yes... you can.. Here is a ready-made "Snippet" you can drag or auto-complete, etc...

/** 
 * <#summary#>
 * @param <#name#> <#how you gonna get it?#>
 * @param <#name#> <#really, there's more?#>
 * @return <#name#> <#what do you want!#>
 */

Drag that "onto" the snippet "thing" and like, you know.. set it up..

and there ya have it...
