@@ -7,3 +7,9 @@ A property on a directory that indicates if its targets are excluded
from the default build target. If it is not, then with a Makefile for
example typing make will cause the targets to be built. The same
concept applies to the default build of other generators.
+
+Targets inherit the :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` property from the directory
+that they are created in. When a directory is excluded, all of its targets will
+have :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` set to ``TRUE``. After creating such a target
+you can change its :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` property to ``FALSE``. This
+will cause the target to be included in the default build target.
