Fail task

Hi,

It would be nice if the task <fail> allowed the <echo> task as a nested
task.  But, since i can't have this how would i get a multiline message
displayed using the <fail> task?  is it possible to embed newlines (\n| and
tabs (\t) in the message?

thanks,

vince

RE: Fail task

Posted by Geoff Meakin <ge...@isocra.com>.
Sorry if Im being stupid- is there any reason why you cant
use many <echo>s followed by a final <fail>.
That's what I do

But I believe there's also a newline character in the HTML entities
spec which you can probably use.

Cheers
