Reads the text from one or more files. While this may not necessarily be about deployment, I have found it useful to create the release here on codeplex. I maintain a file between releases, sort of a change log, and that is what is used for the release description.
<ReadTextFile Files="$(InputFile)">
<Output PropertyName="OutputText" TaskParameter="OutputText" />
</ReadTextFile>
