Description John-Mason P. Shackelford CLA 2004-03-11 09:03:21 EST 
When I format a build file which has elements that have a > inside an attribute
value, the formatter mangles the build file.

I believe at least one of the ant committers likes to say: 
<target description="--> my description"/> so we will want to fix this.
Comment 1 John-Mason P. Shackelford CLA 2004-03-11 09:04:46 EST 
This is actually a bug in the partition scanner.
Comment 2 Darin Swanson CLA 2004-03-11 11:03:01 EST 
Isn't this a duplicate of bug 51215? Or is there more work for this bug when 
51215 is fixed?
Comment 3 John-Mason P. Shackelford CLA 2004-03-11 11:46:46 EST 
Nothing more to do after the partion scanner is fixed. I wanted to enter the 
bug since: (1) this is the way a user is likely to perceive the bug and (2) 
that the problem appears in both the formatter and syntax highlighting may 
impact how the bug is fixed. See discussion around bug 51217.

Comment 5 John-Mason P. Shackelford CLA 2004-04-03 23:19:12 EST 
The patch submitted for bug 51215 should resolve this issue.
Comment 6 Darin Swanson CLA 2004-04-05 01:25:18 EDT 
Test case for formatting (as well as in the duplicate bug 56716):

<project name="54458" default="main" basedir=".">
	<!--
       ===================================================================
         Main target - runs dist-lite by default
       ===================================================================
  -->
  <target name="main"
          description="--> creates a minimum distribution in ./dist"
          depends="dist-lite"/>
	<target name="dist-lite">
		<echo>dist-list</echo>
	</target>
</project>
