Summary

The -p|--property option was missing from the synopsis and options section, despite being referenced in the MSBuild description and examples throughout the document.

Changes:

  • Added -p|--property:<PROPERTYNAME>=<VALUE> to synopsis in alphabetical order
  • Added dedicated options entry with description and syntax examples (semicolon-delimited and repeated option formats)
  • Matches dotnet build documentation format
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>dotnet publish Synopsis is missing the -p option</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Type of issue

Missing information

Description

The synopsis does not have the -p option that passes properties through to msbuild, but it does talk about that option later including a useful example further down. It could have been a deliberate choice to not be exhaustive with the available options to the dotnet publish command.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-publish#synopsis

I think it would be useful to see the -p option in the synopsis and broken out in the options list in its own description.
