+ ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-04-22 19:42 -------
+ My point is that just about every language with block comments treats
comments
+ this way, whether it is Java, XML, C, etc. The example was to convince you
that
+ this is neither a problem particular to XML, nor to Ant's implementation of
+ XML. You can't always comment out a block of code without checking what is in
+ that code. The comment you have created violates the XML specification.
+ http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#sec-comments
+
+ 2.5 Comments
+ [Definition: Comments may appear anywhere in a document outside other markup;
+ in addition, they may appear within the document type declaration at places
+ allowed by the grammar. They are not part of the document's character data;
an
+ XML processor may, but need not, make it possible for an application to
+ retrieve the text of comments. For compatibility, the string "--" (double-
+ hyphen) must not occur within comments.] Parameter entity references are not
+ recognized within comments.
