I have seen that if you are using a combination of subant and import, and you are importing the same common.xml in the main build file and in the build files invoked by subant, then a warning is issued : "Duplicated project name in import. Project stepstream.common defined first in c:\dev\testant\teststs\common.xml and again in C:\dev\testant\teststs\core\..\common.xml" > > 4. xdocs proposal & manual generation > > I'm not sure if this is still at the proposal stage or ready for primetime.

Then we could replace the manual pages one by one by the xdocs generated version. It might look a bit strange in the beginning, but might also be a way of migrating while making sure that content does not get lost (valuable examples, comments, ...) It would be cool if the styles available in the manual pages were the same as the styles available in the rest of the xdocs. Particularly, it is handy to be able to have <source>![CDATA[.... in the files containing the examples, so that you can type samples in without escaping them Antoine --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
