Konrad Windszus commented on MPLUGIN-417: ----------------------------------------- According to https://github.com/paul-hammant/qdox/issues/102#issuecomment-1214871629 we should only put plain text into the descriptor. The HTML reports needs to be generated then based on the original source code (not on the descriptor). > Clarify plugin descriptor's description element > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MPLUGIN-417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-417 > Project: Maven Plugin Tools > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metadata Model > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > Priority: Major > > Currently it is not specified in > https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.4/maven-plugin-api/plugin.html which format > the {{description}} field on plugin, mojo and parameter level should have. > It partially contains javadoc-specific tags (MPLUGIN-298) and partially HTML > tags. > As the descriptor is also used as basis for the generated HTML reports the > format should loose as few details as possible (from the scanned javadoc in > https://github.com/apache/maven-plugin-tools/blob/50d5679d5a6f93e014645d1b7c790a96edd2e5bf/maven-plugin-tools-annotations/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/tools/plugin/extractor/annotations/JavaAnnotationsMojoDescriptorExtractor.java#L253). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
