property file syntax
I'm having 'fun' with a properties file syntax.
E.g. white space on the end of a line!
Is the syntax described in the ant manual please (using 1.7),
I can't find it.
TIA

Sorry, I was unclear. I guess I was asking for a direct entry in the main TOC
for a properties file
I.e. asking how it might be 'added' by someone with write access to
that document.
http://is.gd/zsPg only has an 'indirect' link to the Sun page right
down at the bottom.
"The rules for this format are laid down by Sun. This makes it hard
for Team Ant to field bug reports about it. "

It's a link to the complete manual, which is what I thought you needed?
The Property task is under :-
Ant Tasks/Core Tasks/Property
as the original link given by Mr Hollis almost included.
Were you after something other than the Table of Contents of the ant manual?
