#2494: It is not always clear what parameters each buildstep can have which can
result in unexpected behavior
------------------------+---------------------------------------
Reporter:  johnt        |      Owner:
    Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
Priority:  minor        |  Milestone:  undecided
 Version:  0.8.7p1      |   Keywords:  docs steps parameters api
------------------------+---------------------------------------
 In cases where build steps fail or have warnings it is not always
 immediately clear what will happen to the build - will it stop or continue
 and what will it be marked as?

 To this end it might be a good idea to provide this information in a table
 in the documentation. It could contain a list of the possible build steps
 which have parameters set by default and possibly a link to the API
 reference. Example:

 Buildstep | Default Parameters | API ref

 Configure | haltOnFailures=True, flunkOnFailures=True | Link

 Compile | haltOnFailures=True, flunkOnFailures=True | Link

 ShellCommand | flunkOnFailures=True | Link

 ...

 This would make it clear to users why their builder is behaving as it is.
