[Pdfdoclet-devel] New ANT-targets "format" and "test-pdf"

[Marcel S. <mar...@ya...>]

Hello everyone,

While working on the inclusion of new code from 
Tomasz Stanczak, I decided to add two new things 
to the project. 

First, there is a new target "format", which uses 
the "jalopy" library to automatically format the 
whole sourcecode. I urge everyone working on the 
project to use it in the future. Just call "ant 
format" before commiting code to the CVS or sending 
it to me. This will reduce the possibility of large 
CVS diffs created by source-editors with different 
settings (tabs instead of blanks, different 
indentation settings etc.). Of course, if you have 
any feedback on jalopy, let me know. I hope it will 
be helpful.

Second, for easier and quicker manual / visual test 
and verification, I introduced a 3rd source tree in 
the "examples" folder, with only two sourcefiles. 
The new ANT target "test-pdf" uses it to create a 
very small PDF, but with all features activated 
(title page, overview, index, summary tables etc.). 
This will allow everyone to verify much faster if 
any changes he did are OK, and - more important - if 
they didn't break any of the old functionality.
If you want to implement a new feature like support 
for another HTML tag, please insert such a tag into 
one of these sourcefiles, so that we have a very 
compact collection of more or less all testcases in 
these two sourcefiles.

The other two examples were originally thought to be 
more like real-world javadoc examples, so we may let 
them be as they are.

Regards,
Marcel
