The main piece of this is in Ant's CVS under proposal/xdocs which uses XDoclet to build XML files describing every task. I then had a small bit of custom (not in Ant's CVS) build file stuff that did a and into a very very large HTML file (that was the best way to get the document into Microsoft Word sadly). So, nothing hidden or magic about it - although there were many long nights of Javadoc fixups for Steve and I to get this to generate as nicely as it did. An outline - yeah a good idea, but there is also an Index at the back of our book and part of my was to put in the right tags to index this appendix also! :) There is a good cross-reference document in Ant's own documentation which groups the tasks into functional areas (thanks Diane!) - so refer to that as an outline and then when you're coding, have Appendix E handy to recall the specific attributes that no one in their right mind should memorize fully :) Erik Matt Benson wrote: > How was Appendix E generated?
