-----------------------------------

yes, it should be direct to HTML eventually.

>          Key: MNG-1091
>          URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1091
>      Project: Maven 2
>         Type: Improvement
>   Components: maven-plugin-plugin
>     Versions: 2.0-beta-3
>  Environment: any, jdk 1.4.2_06
>     Reporter: Corridor Software Developer
>     Assignee: Johnny R. Ruiz III
>     Priority: Minor
>      Fix For: 2.0-beta-4

> Original Estimate: 8 hours
>         Remaining: 8 hours

> The goal plugin:xdoc creates a table describing the parameters for a plugin. An example may be found here: http://mojo.codehaus.org/xmlbeans-maven-plugin/xmlbeans-mojo.html
> In the example, notice that the nowrap on the type, expression and default-value columns causes the descriptions to be crammed into the right side of the page.
> So rather than having these values in their own columns, position them in rows below the parameter as is done in the maven-model documentation for the project descriptor. This way the fields don't compete for space across the page: 
> http://maven.apache.org/maven2/maven-model/maven.html
> What's more, the inclusion of hyperlinked xml at the top of the page describing the configuration section of the plugin would benefit the end user without manual effort of the plugin developer.
