Hi, I've just committed my modifications to the filterchain implementation that was provided by Roger Dahlman.
To summarize these changes : - there are no longer two categories of filters (generic and convenience filters) : all filter are now only available using convenience elements (meaningful elements names) - Additional custom filters can be loaded using the <loadtasks> task (which we urgently need to rename). - the order attribute on the filter elements has been removed, as the order of filter elements in the build file is now retained during the initialization phase. - the <tabstospaces> filter no longer has a replacementchar attribute, you can now only replace tabs with spaces with this filter (as the name suggests). - an index listing all filters and a separate doc page for each file is now automatically generated as part of the build process (see http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/filters/index.html). Things to do (IMHO) : - replace the <replacecharacter> filter with a <replacestring> filter - add more docs for the filterchain and filter elements (http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/types/filterchain.html) - add more docs and examples for the individual filters - add more filters (eg. <replaceregex>) - add filterchain examples to the <copy> and <move> tasks - add filterchain support to the <zip> and <unzip> tasks Please correct me if I'm missing something ... Ofcourse, all docs are generated from the sources, so doc updates / additions should be done on the class level. Are there volunteers for any of these tasks ? Any help is greatly appreciated ...
