It supports out of source documentation, but not in the Express (zero
cost) edition:

I find that the external documentation imposes a too big overhead.
When in-source I can write it in the same editor I am used to,
navigating the same source I am used to, instead of an external
representation of it. Not to mention when things get renamed external
docs usually have a hard time.

The external documentation duplicates information, because we already
describe how things work in the comments, and then we need to describe
that again in external docs. Or if we don't comment properly it
becomes hard to underderstand the code.
