Summary: Expression evaluation less than or equals requires <
Initial Comment:
I'm using nant build 0.85.2143.0; nightly 11/13/2005.
I want to see if one integer is less than or equal to
another. That is, compare to integers using <=
1. So I write my test:
<if test="${5 <= 0}" >
<echo message="Val 1 not-less-or-equal-to 0 or less."
/> </if>
I shouldn't get a:
"Error loading buildfile.
'<', hexadecimal value 0x3c, is an invalid attribute
character, Line 159, position 20."
(I've attached the stack trace)
2. If I go: >=, as in:
<if test="${5 >= 0}" >
<echo message="Val 1 not-less-or-equal-to 0 or less."
/> </if>
Things work fine.
3. If I go: <=
<if test="${5 <= 0}" >
<echo message="Val 1 not-less-or-equal-to 0 or less."
/> </if>
Things work fine.
4. If I go: ==
<if test="${5 == 0}" >
<echo message="Val 1 not-less-or-equal-to 0 or less."
/> </if>
Things work fine.
Thanks for looking into this! If a bug has already been
submitted for this, please forgive, I did do some
searching to see if this bug existed, but if something
was there, I couldn't find it.

This is "by design". In fact everything built atop of XML
have this flaw. XSLT comes to my mind, but there are alot
of technologies around.
Maybe we should stress this fact in documentation. I was
unable to find any mention of < at all. (expression
page?)
