Description

The square bracket notation used to describe the noWarn switch at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuild-command-line-reference?view=vs-2019 gives the impression that arguments are not required, i.e. that all warnings can be silenced.

This is not the case.

I use a separate filelogger for errors and warnings. How do I disable all warnings on the console!?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Update the MSBuild command line reference documentation to clarify that the noWarn switch requires arguments (e.g., warning codes) and does not silence all warnings without them.
