Which works only because HTML seems to tolerate extraneous whitespace (like newlines and tabs, which are passed through as part of the header string text). So for this exact situation (javadoc/header), this works. I guess I was hoping for a more general solution whenever I had a long string literal. Another example is target/description. Any overly long file or path specification is another place where extra whitespace isn't ok. What I've learned so far is that XML doesn't offer this (being, by definition, "unreadable" :-), and that other than extending ant (e.g. property/append as proposed by Diane Holt), there isn't a clean, universal solution. Oh well. I appreciate everyone's input! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
