- different aspects of its operation, but it will give you an idea of what is going on. For
- example, the <javac> task logs the reasons why it chooses to compile particular
- classes and the equivalent command it is using. The following trace (which has been edited

Sorry -- didn't know it was a generated file. Is there any way the
generation mechanism can put in something that says "GENERATED FILE -- DO
NOT EDIT."?

I did it so I could work with it -- just figured it had originally been
done by someone with an HTML editor.

Don't know how I manged to remove it, since I didn't touch any <img>
lines, but oh well, sorry about that, too.
I started out just intending to redo the <pre> stuff so that it wasn't,
but of course, ended up editing a considerable amount of the text as well
(can't resist once I've started editing something anyway :)

Yes sir -- and thanks. I'll see if I can fix this myself first, then
holler if I need help.

Diane,
you've just modified a generated HTML file. As soon as somebody else
regenerates the HTML, all your changes will be lost.
Some of things you have done are only indentation changes, don't do
that, as nobody ever touches these files directly.
Apart from removing the Ant logo, I couldn't quickly identify what
you've changed.
I'll be happy to help to get the stylesheets do what you need (which
does not include removing the logo, I hope), but please don't edit
generated files.
