Examples

<PCTCompile destDir="build" preprocessDir="preprocess" dlcHome="${env.DLC}">
  <fileset dir="src">
    <include name="**/*.cls"/>
  </fileset>
  <propath>
    <pathelement path="src"/>
  </propath>
</PCTCompile>
<ClassDocumentation destDir="doc" dlcHome="${env.DLC}">
  <fileset dir="preprocess" includes="**/*.cls" />
</ClassDocumentation>
<HTMLDocumentation sourceDir="doc" destDir="html" dlcHome="${env.DLC}" />

Compiles every .cls in src directory (and subdirs) in build directory, generates preprocessed classes in preprocess directory, then generates XML documentation from the preprocessed classes, and then generates HTML documentation from XML files, using predefined templates.
