i think the larger the distance between code and its related metadata the more cumbersome its development, generation of docs, etc.... since MS Word is a properietary format...(talking about the binary)...would never ask for this....though i would like this exact scenario when for example writing a book; I would then embed code listing directly into lets say OpenOffice markup....and generate code listings (single source much better) as well as test that the code does compile. I would like to also embed build markup inside this rich XML composite document. > other transformer to extract it and put it in a place consumable by ANT. > > ANT does not need to be the do all for everything. i like this mantra for Ant and it has served it well over the years... though I think a small adjustement that lets Ant 'play nice' with other XML markup isnt such a problem. In any event, will post patch if I have the time. my 2czk, Jim Fuller
