title: WebAPI Help Pages: disable for Production release
body: <p>I have developed a number of internal REST interfaces using the older WCF framework in VS 2010. The ability for it to generate help pages was handy for DEV and QA platforms, but for a production release it was easy to disable the generation of these help pages in the <strong>web.config</strong> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;standardEndpoint name="" helpEnabled="false" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am now moving on to use the WebAPI framework instead (currently version 1 on VS 2012), but it doesn't appear to be as trivial to turn this feature off (i.e. I can't find any information on how to do this in a web.config file). </p>
  
  <p>Certainly I can go ahead and do this by hand within the code itself, but surely there's an easier way; something akin to how WCF did it as described above. I'd like to use the web.config file approach since I already have the web.release.config transform files in place for other settings.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on best practices on this would be appreciated.</p>
