Summary

Updates all references to "terminal logger" to use "Terminal Logger" as a proper noun throughout the .NET CLI documentation, bringing it into consistency with ASP.NET Core documentation standards.

Changes Made

This PR addresses issue #44XXX by capitalizing "Terminal Logger" across all .NET CLI command documentation. The changes affect:

  • Core documentation: The shared include file includes/cli-tl.md that defines the --tl option used by dotnet build, dotnet clean, dotnet publish, dotnet restore, and dotnet run
  • Feature documentation: What's New articles for .NET 8 and .NET 9 SDK
  • Breaking change documentation: .NET 9 compatibility articles
  • Reference documentation: Compatibility tables and overviews

Impact

All five dotnet CLI commands mentioned in the original issue now consistently display "Terminal Logger" as a proper noun in their --tl option documentation:

  • dotnet build --help
  • dotnet clean --help
  • dotnet publish --help
  • dotnet restore --help
  • dotnet run --help

Files Modified

  • includes/cli-tl.md - Main include file defining the --tl option
  • docs/core/compatibility/sdk/9.0/terminal-logger.md - Breaking change doc
  • docs/core/whats-new/dotnet-9/sdk.md - .NET 9 SDK features
  • docs/core/whats-new/dotnet-9/overview.md - .NET 9 overview
  • docs/core/whats-new/dotnet-8/sdk.md - .NET 8 SDK features
  • docs/core/compatibility/9.0.md - Compatibility table

This change maintains consistency with how "Terminal Logger" is treated as a proper noun in ASP.NET Core documentation per the cross-reference mentioned in the original issue.

Validation

  • ✅ All instances of lowercase "terminal logger" have been updated
  • ✅ Consistent capitalization across all affected documentation
  • ✅ No build warnings or errors introduced
  • ✅ Changes are minimal and focused on the specific issue

<issue_description>### Type of issue

Typo

Description

The "Terminal Logger" is a specific, named piece of .NET tech, so we'll be making it a proper noun in ASP.NET Core docs. I was wondering if you would consider making it a proper noun here in the dotnet build article's --tl:[auto|on|off] option content?

If it's a proper noun, then I don't think it should be "The Terminal Logger". It should just be "Terminal Logger". E.g. you wouldn't say "The Visual Studio".
