http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10402 adding the ability of html like whitespace preservence to echo task Summary: adding the ability of html like whitespace preservence to echo task Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In order to make ant scripts look nicer and at the same time allowing for nice screen outputs, the echo task should maybe get an attribute by which one could specify that the whitespace within the text should be transformed in an html like way: Consider the following: <echo> Hello World, line with lt. 80 digits, line two w. lt. 80 digits, a.s.o. </echo> Echo will print the text with leading whitespacees. Within html, several whitespace characters before and after a linebreak are condensed into a single space. (And in xml schema one can specify such an option as well) Maybe it would make sense to have s.th. similar for the echo task as well. A second mode, which would condense the sequence of (whitespace + linebreak + whitespace) into a single space like in html or into a single linebreak. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
