Looking good! A few things to address.
Also, the dotnet run command has the same parameter support for -t|--target. We should update that article too.
Thats a good idea. whats the best way to go? Should this PR be merged first and then I can open a new PR for the dotnet-run.md addition for the -t|--target options? |

Editing the file in this PR is fine. I also accidentally removed that link to the MSBuild Targets. Oops! Additionally, please resolve the addressed comments that are in the review so that they unblock the PR. |

Add documentation for the dotnet build -t|--target option to dotnet-build.md
Updated the dotnet build synopsis to include [-t|--target:]
Added a new options entry for -t|--target:
Included a short explanation and examples for using a specific MSBuild target
Added an example in the Examples section showing dotnet build -t:Clean
The dotnet build command accepts -t/--target, but the existing docs did not document it. This resolves missing documentation reported in issue #53658.
Verified the option syntax matches existing CLI documentation style
Confirmed the added examples are consistent with other dotnet build examples
