I had meant to add this tidbit to my first message...
The help page for <cvs-checkout> includes the following sentence as part of the
description of the cvsroot attributes:
The examples used is for the NAnt cvsroot. protocol: ext username: [username]
servername: cvs.sourceforge.net server path: /cvsroot/nant
We'll skip "examples is" and get on to the hard stuff. From reading the above, does
it sound like the attribute's value is something like
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/module/path
I eventually figured out that the writer was probably itemizing the fields that appear
in examples out of sight several screens down. However, stringing everything
end-on-end in a sentence with no distinction of description strings versus placeholder
strings with colons every few words [and one set of optional brackets thrown in for
good measure] is not a easily comprehended.
In my case, while I'm not a CVS expert, I do know what a standard CVS root string
looks like. However, when the built-in NAnt 0.85 CVS utility rejected my previously
working cvsroot, I thought maybe there was something different about the cvsroot
attribute for <cvs-checkout>--and boy, does that description name the NAnt version
look different.
The NDoc utility used to document NAnt allows italics and bold. Why not use it?
