I'm looking for the authoritative specification within Ant for the value of the
name attribute as in:
<property name="xxx" .../>
<macrodef name="xxx" ...>
<target name="xxx" ...>
and so forth. I can't find within the Ant manual any BNF that defines what a
valid name is allowed to be.
I do see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-2-20041028/datatypes.html#NMTOKEN
However, without the Ant manual explicitly telling me that this is something that applies to the name value for property, macrodef,
target, etc., I can't be 100% sure. Maybe property allows for one syntax. Maybe macrodef allows for another.
Is there a BNF description of the Ant language anywhere?
Can anyone help me to understand authoritatively what is allowed for name values and where in the Ant manual or specification I can
read more?
Many thanks for any assistance!
