Ant doesn't have a task for everything, in part because it's easy to add them in Java, but also because little formatting things like your need can also be implemented in a true scripting language (javascript, jython, beanshell, etc...) hosted inside Ant. Take a look at the <script> task and the pick your favorite scripting language. <script> exposes the Ant Project instance, from which you can access and set properties.
