DO NOT REPLY [Bug 53020] New: manual/Tasks/import.html editorial errors

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53020

             Bug #: 53020
           Summary: manual/Tasks/import.html editorial errors
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.8.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dsb@smart.net
    Classification: Unclassified


manual/Tasks/import.html says:

* "Their "normal" name without any prefix and potentially with a prefixed 
  name (the value of the as attribute or the imported project's name 
  attribute, if any)."  (That sentence fragment needs to be joined to the
  preceding sentence.)

* For all of:

    When using import the imported targets are ...

    When using include the included targets are ...

    When using import, the imported target's depends attribute ...

    When using include, the included targets cannot ...

  The implied subjects of the "when using ..." clauses don't match the
  main subjects of the sentences.  The clauses need to be something of
  the form "when import is used" (or "when the build file uses import",
  "when you use import", etc.).

  (Notice how the wording "when using import, the targets are ... " means 
  "when the targets use import, the targets are ...", which doesn't 
  really make any sense, since it's not the targets that use import.)

* "It is possible to include the same file more than once by using 
  different prefixes, it is not possible to import the same file 
  more than once.":  That comma should be a semicolon or sentence 
  break.
